Dr. No ULTIMATE EDITION comparison - How to get it right!

she did not age well

I'm not sure if the remastered picture is exactly how it should look. It seems too bright, too clear and too shiny. The correct framing is a good thing though.

Lowry needs to remember they are supposed to restore films, not make them look like HD video.

I wonder which james bond films were given the 4K Scan?

[abc12319525]

my normal dvd looks like the ulitmate edition

[alexdinhohd]

clear brillant increased in ultimate hd version

lol

[repzard99]

screw that, i like my special editions, i also like how the menus each have its own theme depending which film it is, Im not gonna rebuy the whole set. I also dont care for slimline cases

[Tvirus]

@repzard99 I agree. The special editions had personality both on the menus and the box, while the ultimate is so standarized that it loses all charisma

[kalsolarUK]

wow, I didnt realise the framing was so different

[xxcharmed1xx]

She was so beautiful by far the best bond girl!!

Where did you find this 8-page article? I mean, on which website?

[WahBastard]

I tell u what, Blu-ray is different form them, it's nicer. I have made a comparision.

[Riddler95]

How good are the Bond movies on Blu-Ray ?

[007magazine]

The framing is correct in the Ultimate Edition at a ratio of 1:66:1 - which is how the film was seen in UK cinemas in 1962. The earlier Special Edition was framed at 1:85:1 the US standard) and loses a significant portion of information around the edges.

[egrantsouth]

Hey, thanks for clearing that up. I hate watching movies that are formatted like that. I definitely need to get the Ultimate Edition DVDs.

[Riddler95]

go for the Ultimate Edition DVD Boxsets. They are worth it.

[egrantsouth]

Why is the framing different in the ultimate edition?

[chenlung1]

Anyone care to discuss a long-gone deleted scene where Bond shoots the professor 6 times instead of 2?

The UEs lack lots of trailers (and the onscreen text), some including deleted footage and the likes.

[gjcauilan]

onscreen text meaning subtitles?

[S54CSL]

I have never seen that scene, is it on the special edition?

[masterofarmageddon]

They don't lack onscreen text. And what deleted footage did they leave out?

[KooKooRooWhore]

The Ultimate Edition doesn't look technicolor anymore--looks like a nicely (if blandly) shot 70s movie. The oversaturated colors of the original film prints and video editions gave it a garish pulp vibrance that this "correction" lacks. Nice to see it crisp and clean though.

[007magazine]

I have to agree on the whole. The same look is now applied to all of the early films making them look more 'modern' in comparison. Thunderball for instance looks good but lacks that same Technicolor richness.
