Asaki Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Best version of Goldeneye, right there Every other release got botched pretty bad >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitkraft Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Sale Pending. @Asaki now I'm super curious. What makes this the best version of Goldeneye? I like Bond but I wouldn't consider myself an aficionado so I had no idea there were better/worse versions. Did they make Bond not shoot first or something?

To me it sounds like he is saying the quality changed, but maybe it is editing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 With the Ultimate Edition DVD, the picture got cropped quite a bit. Some suspect they may have accidentally (?) used a fullscreen master instead of widescreen. It also omits the burned-in golden subtitles, so it's just chunky, white DVD player subs. http://sd.caps-a-holic.com/vergleich.php?lang=en&vergleichID=211 The Bluray release finally fixes the cropping issue, but there's a LOT of digital processing applied to the picture (DNR and edge enhancement). I don't know if any of the re-releases have fixed it, but when the original BD set shipped, everyone said Goldeneye was the worst looking of the bunch by far Would love to get it on BD if they ever fix it, it's my favorite Bond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I have that version of Goldeneye and the full set of movies that were released in that "Special Edition" packaging. It is everything before Die Another Day. I have probably watched Goldeneye at least twice in the years I've owned it. I didn't know I had it so good with the quality. What I like about that edition is all the special features that come with the movies. It is possible that the "Ultimate Edition" also has the same special features (I've never owned those), but the Blu Rays you buy now often include absolutely nothing besides the actual movie.

Hmm, I'm actually not sure, my UE for GE is the single-disc version. But yeah, I have some of the UE two-discs, and there's tons of features there. I still need to crack into some of them.

+wongojack Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 The special editions are one disc, but they have these long featurettes with tons of interviews and stuff. Some have other interviews or deep dives into music, stunts, or locations. What makes them kinda special is a lot of people they interviewed are now dead (not in time for Broccoli though). Maybe the UE has all that and more, I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I am waiting to see the special stuff here. I just saw the full 28 movie collection on BluRay for $80, but like a lot of collections, there is no real telling what release version you get in these collections.

As far as I know, they've just been re-releasing the same discs in different packaging...but I could be wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
