KEEPING IT REAL: THE ACTION OF NO TIME TO DIE – In a world full of CGI-heavy action films, the Bond franchise proudly stands out from the crowd for always shooting practical stunts, without the use of special effects. In this piece we see how No Time To Die continues with this tradition with its amazing action sequences. Calibrated with Calman color calibration software and Portrait Displays C6 HDR2000 colorimeter from Portrait.com) ANATOMY OF A SCENE: MATERA – In true Bond fashion, there is an incredible pre-credit sequence featured in No Time To Die. A breathless chase shot in Matera that starts on foot, then motorcycle, then car. Not just any car either – the iconic Aston Martin DB5! Through interviews with Daniel Craig and director Cary Joji Fukunaga, plus on-set interviews with key members of the crew, we discover how the filmmakers shot this breathtaking sequence.
When No Time to Die opened in theaters this year my wife and I were in attendance. Knowing it was Daniel Craig’s swan song as Bond I had very high hopes for an ending befitting his status within the franchise. In general, I believe that the film achieves that despite a somewhat overworked script that sometimes struggles with focus but, ultimately finds its way. The villain isn’t neatly folded into the fray and his agenda’s success seems too implausible but, I liked what he represented within the construct of the plotline and how it inevitably rendered the result. For its presentation in Ultra HD Not Time to Die was rendered from a mix of film sources and finished on a 4K DI. I enjoyed the film but didn’t find anything innately special about it. The villain, played by Christophe Waltz, just didn’t have enough screen time to be compellingly sinister enough and the Bond Girls, played by Lea Seydoux and Monica Bellucci (huh?), were far from enrapturing. There weren't enough gadgets, although based upon the storyline, that was understandable, but the cars didn't disappoint. What made Spectre enjoyable are the staples that Bond generally brings, plenty of action, fairly compelling storytelling, excellent production values and a well-played turn by star Daniel Craig.Related: No Time to Die is a "love story" that "ties up all the storylines" of Daniel Craig's 007 era
sounded so rich and lush, perfectly tuned and completely saturating through the entire stage. It's 007 score bliss. Action scenes are a delight for than as a vehicle for a steady diet of discrete effects. A few such discrete delights are heard throughout, like a helicopter flying overhead in the 111Where as in previous films Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) has been seen in the field assisting Bond and others, in this film her characters importance is significantly reduced to accommodate the new 007. This wouldn’t have been a particular issue if Lashana Lynch’s character had turned out to be excellent addition. Studio description: In No Time To Die, Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology. color grading which brings out a more intense color output flow, boasting exceptionally deep yet ridiculously bright colors. Sunny exteriors are obviously In the end this last Daniel Craig Bond movie ends up being ok and certainly well worth a watch. However this is a very different Bond film in that it treats Daniel Craig last film as if he’s more important than the Bond name. The film’s score comes from the hugely talented Hans Zimmer. However whilst it’s a generally good score, Zimmer never really lets loose the full on Bond theme which I personally find rather disappointing.
But such a focus on theme and character often means storytelling can suffer and sadly that’s very much the case here – at the 80-minute mark, Bond, and Mallory (Ralph Fiennes – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The King's Man, The English Patient) are talking about the motivations of the film’s mysterious antagonist and their exchange pretty much sums up the entire plot here: Of the new characters to the franchise, Ana de Armas ( Knives Out, Yesterday, Blade Runner 2049) steals the show with her delightfully dotty action-star in the making and Lashana Lynch ( Captain Marvel, The Intergalactic Adventures of Max Cloud) provides much more rounded support than trailers suggested, while all the usual returnees are now able to provide solid support in their sleep. Anatomy of a Scene: Matera (2160p, 11:32): Exploring the making of a key pre-title action sequence that involves everything that makes what do they want? Hard to imagine… world leaders, innocent civilians, freedom, you know that sort of thing….” It’s a film that really is a part of a whole – less so narratively, but much more so emotionally. And viewed as the finale to Craig’s tenure, it feels like a complete celebration of how Craig and Eon have managed to somehow update Bond for a modern time whilst retaining the more outlandish and frankly crowd-pleasing elements its audience requires. While some may have doubts about the choices the film makes in its final moments, they inarguably feel intrinsically true to Craig’s Bond and what he and Eon have strived to do from his very first moments in the role all those years ago.Anatomy of a Scene: Matera – In true Bond fashion, there is an incredible pre-credit sequence featured in No Time To Die.

He doesn't miss a beat in crafting a quintessential modern Bond film that is sure to be amongst the fan favorites of everything from action to intrigue with superior craftsmanship that builds a top-flight sort of 21st century big budget film experience. Audiences In fact most of the cast are excellent such as Rami Malek as Lyutsifer Safin, Ralph Fiennes as M, and Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter etc…the high point for delivering natural blues and greens and even a number of earthy shades (the chase sequence near film's start) with resplendent its color output. First, the higher resolution yields a greatly cleaner, crisper, more perfectly cinematic picture. The level of clarity and detail are power from the microscopic level: nanobots with the ability to deliver deadly disease to specific genetic markers.

Nevertheless this is my No Time To Die blu-ray review. cinematic excellence as much as story detail and character exposition. The picture is a work of art for the modern Bond and Spy genre, offering
