5.0 out of 5 stars Great Film Restoration Restores Some Pride in Bond Series, 31 Oct 2008
By hellodavey (London, England) - See all my reviews
I have had to make do with watching the "old-style" Bond movies (pre Casino Royale) on ITV and ITV2 for quite a few years now. And after all these years it slowly became apparent that this is what the Bond films seemed to have been relegated to - the "nothing else is on TV so I might as well" genre. Indeed, when Casino Royale came out it just seem to compound this feeling of the old films being nearly B-grade in terms of picture quality and farcical in action sequences.

However, this Blu Ray release of Dr. No seems to have breathed new life into the actual quality of the film. It was fantastic. It felt like Bond belonged on the big screen again. The range, saturation and vividity of the colours really stood out as did how clean and sharp the image was. Video bitrate was consistently between 30-35Mbps. Motion was also smooth which always helps iron out the creases in dated action sequences. A look at the 10 min special feature of how they created a 4K restoration of the film demonstrates well the care they put into improving the quality of this film.

One of the guys who worked on the restoration puts it well "the film now [nearly] looks like it was set in the sixties rather than made in it"

Having only rented it from Lovefilm for now, if the other Bond Blu rays appear this good, it might soon be time to finally permanently add Mr. Bond to the home film collection. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great film (4-stars for the movie, 3 for the Blu-ray), 12 Mar 2009
By 6th.replicant (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Easy! Let's not get too carried away. If you already own the Ultimate Edition DVD of Dr No, IMHO you're not going to notice a huge difference in this Blu-ray disc (BD). Indeed, the often quoted, "The film now looks like it was set in the '60s rather than made in it...", is actually taken from a promo documentary for the remastered 007 Ultimate Edition DVD series (2006); the 007 BDs are sourced from the same restored master tapes.

Compared to the Ultimate Edition DVD, the Dr No BD has slightly richer colours; a bit more detail in faces, clothing material etc; & slightly more depth of field. Also, those with surround sound will be disappointed to detect that the majority of the soundtrack still emanates from the centre speaker. And it's a shame that the car chases & fight scenes are still speeded up.

However, if your existing version is the DVD prior to the Ultimate Edition - then you WILL notice a big difference.

If you do want to see/hear a marked improvement from DVD to Blu-ray, may I suggest that you checkout the Matrix, Blade Runner or even Casino Royale?

5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable, 28 Dec 2008
A remarkable job has been done in restoring this film's picture and sound. The level of detail is remarkable for a film of its age. Connery is great and the sharpness of the transfer makes for a very cinematic experience for those of us who are too young to have seen this the first time round! I'm tempted by From Russia With Love if it's as good a rendering as this!
