The picture and sound quality of ths dvd is amazing, i would say just below blue-ray standard. Each frame has been digitaly remastered and it shows. The vibrant colours and pin sharp detail all add to the viewing pleasure. This version also comes with a new DTS soundtrack which gives your speakers a good workout.
If you love this film then this is the version to own.. no question..

Goldeneye, 2007 Bond remastered Edition - Brosnan brings a hint of Steele to the role of Bond
7 Jan 2011
Another decade, another actor in the role of James Bond. Pierce Brosnan stepped up to the plate in this, the seventeenth big screen outing for the superspy, and became the Bond of the Nineties.
I always rated Brosnan quite highly as Bond, though he was let down badly in his later films by poor scripting and directing. He had the style and panache of Moore, but mixed it with the hard edge and grittiness of Connery and Dalton. However, in this film actors, script and director come together to make a highly enjoyable romp.
The film recognises the very changed world situation, with the fall of the Soviet Union. Bond is pitted against a renegade double O agent in the form of Sean Bean, who has a complicated scheme involving a stolen Russian superweapon `Goldeneye' to make himself a very rich renegade indeed.
The smart script, crackling with energy (especially the scenes between Bond and new Moneypenny Samantha Bond and M Judi Dench). Packed with big stunts and plenty of thrills and spills it also has time to explore main the character of both Bond and Trevellyan, the main villain. Sean Bean puts in a great performance, Bond's equal in training and skills, and poses a real threat. Bean squeezes as much out of the character as possible, making him a believable construct for whom you almost feel sympathy and empathy. A very entertaining villain indeed.
Added into this was the last great and memorable theme tune in the series, penned by Bono and the Edge, and sung by Tina Turner doing her best Shirley Bassey impression. It's an all round entertaining
It's a highly entertaining film, end definitely one of the better entries in the series.
This digitally restored edition really is the best version of the film I have owned. The picture has been lovingly restored and cleaned up, and looks amazing. Really, I am not just saying that. It looks superb. The sound has been similarly treated and there is an option to listen to it in 5.1 DTS surround, which is truly exceptional.

There doesn't seem to be a blu-ray version yet so I took the chance. A good call. The quality of sound is excellent and the visual realisation is as good as any blu-ray Bonds I've seen. Everyone will know the story and if you're a Bond fan, Brosnan might not do it for you compared to Connery or Craig but I've always enjoyed his particular style and feel fully engaged with his characterisation. A good buy.

Still lousy picture and sound quality
Do not take Snovgras' review seriously. This guy must have never seen a Blu-ray movie if he thinks this release come even close to Bluray quality. Read more
