Synopsis

Secret agent James Bond battles the all-enveloping tentacles of an international crime syndicate called SPECTRE. The organization's mad plan for world supremacy unfolds with the icy efficiency of a chessmaster's complex strategy, and if they succeed, the antagonism of the cold war will be pushed from deep-freeze to the supernova of atomic oblivion. But our man Bond dispatches sultry spies, madmen, and double agents with the same coolness he displays while downing martinis and making love to beautiful blondes. In this, the second of the series, Bond travels to Turkey to meet a mysterious Russian woman who claims to have fallen in love with his photograph. She offers him a secret translating device if he will join her, although he does not know that she has been put up to the task by Rosa Klebb, formerly of the KGB, who has gone to work for SPECTRE. It's Bond's assignment to get the girl and the machine back to England--and to do it, of course, in style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like it was filmed yesterday, 23 Jan 2009
By Chris White (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Despite the fact that I knew of the major restoration of the Bond catalogue for the Ultimate Edition DVD releases, I avoided buying them since I knew that HD was around the corner in one form or another.

Now that they're here on BD, I can honestly say that this represents the best clean-up of an 'old' title that I've seen. It simply comes alive with rich, vibrant colour, rock-steady image stabilisation and not a single blemish. Details that were not apparent before, such as the cut of Bond's suits or the make-up of his leading lady, are now revealed in stunning clarity. As has been remarked elsewhere, it does indeed look like a period spy thriller filmed in 2009.

The sound has also had a makeover, and although a new mix of DTS HD Master Audio from the original mono makes you think that surround effects will be introduced for their own sake, they're not. Instead are subtle improvements that provide a crystal clear dialogue track and leave the wider soundstage for the musical score.

The special features are copious, with (as far as I'm aware) all the featurettes and documentaries from the previous releases being ported over.

Although it's still early days for my Blu-ray collection, if this is the standard for all the 007 films in the format, then I am in for a treat!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a whole new film, 7 Jan 2009
By Gary Mckenzie - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This film on blu ray came alive to me like it never has before when i wayched it last night.I have been watching this film since i was 6 years old(now 29)..I have had it on beta taped of the tv..bought the 1st vhs..bought the widescreen..bought the digitaly remastered version...bought the first dvd..bought the ulitimate edition and now bought the blu ray version and so far this is by far the best release i have ever seen..I can only imagine this is what it is like watching it on the big screen when it first came out.
The picture quality is just fantastic...You can see the lining in Connery's suit...The gel in his hair...
Scenes came alive on blue ray as you see so much more...Just for example when Grant has Bond on the train telling him how he is going to kill him you get the background,the closed rail compartment and Connery;s look of desperation and also thinking how he can get out of this..It has never been so vivid before and i loved it....Can't wait for more of the films to come out on this formart if they are as good as this...
5 stars...Excellent....

4.0 out of 5 stars Another terrific Bond Blu-Ray, 13 Feb 2009
By K. O'Leary (Milton Keynes, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In my opinion, the quality of the image for From Russia With Love is not quite as good as Dr.No, but then again what is? This film's image quality is still top drawer though, and makes a lot of more modern releases look flat and bland. Even the titles are a treat, with their beautiful vibrant colours, and the shadowy dancers are now clearly defined with some startling detail revealed occasionally by the lighting.

The soundtrack is also a little off par with Dr.No, without that films weight and punch. It still has superb clarity, and subtle effects steering and surround use, which is in keeping with it's mono roots. Generally, it still sounds like an old film though, whereas Dr.No could have been made yesterday. Still, as I have already said, the first film set the bar extremely high, and maybe one of the best Blu-Ray transfers out there.

I believe the extras are identical to the Ultimate Edition DVD, which is fine as they are very exhaustive. A lot of the docs have been bumped to HD as well which is nice. I only have one note of concern, and that is with the length of time it takes to load the disk (at least, with my Sony player), it always looks like it's going to fail and spit it out, you just have to have patience, it does get there in the end (although I've read elsewhere that some early players have genuine problems).
