Product Description
Pierce Brosnan makes his 007 debut, replacing Timothy Dalton as Britain's most celebrated secret agent. On his first post-Cold War mission, Bond is sent to blow up a Soviet chemical weapons factory with agent 006 (Sean Bean). Nine years later, Bond becomes involved in the break-up of the Soviet Union, and soon finds himself involved with a blitzkrieg of stolen helicopters, beautiful female assassins, Russian Mafiosi and the race for a vital piece of weaponry - the credit-card sized 'GoldenEye'.

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.

The picture and sound quality of ths dvd is amazing. 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..

Make no bones about it, the Bond production team needed a hit movie with Goldeneye to keep the series alive...and that's exactly what they got.
Pierce Brosnan was a breath of fresh air after the polished but slightly too dull Timothy Dalton and the producers dragged Bond into the 90's without losing too much of what everyone liked about him in the first place.
There's the quips, the girls, the gadgets, the chases, the fights...all are present and correct. There is a great supporting cast as well. Sean Bean is excellent as Bond's former colleague Alec Trevelyan, showing the poise and presence which would have made him a great choice as Bond himself, and Famke Jansen's Xenia Onatopp is one of the most memorable female villain's in the series (right up there with Fiona Volpe from Thunderball).
Yes the film is at least half an hour too long but for the most part this is a wonderful return to form for the Bond series.

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

A cracking Bond
Great film, great edition. This is a really fun crash bang wallop slice on Bond and the remastering is superb.
