WORK – This time it's personal!

A cryptic message coming straight from his past prompts Bond to investigate a sinister organization. As M confronts a political storm so that the secret services can continue to operate, Bond sets to reveal the terrible truth behind... the Spectre.

Less dramatic and intimate than Skyfall, this 24th glamorous and spectacular part is a very good cru faithful to tradition 007.

IMAGE – Dive back into the past

Undoubtedly, this UHD Dolby Vision upgrade is the most successful in the Daniel Craig collection.

The beautiful silver patina of the work is more refined and supports the magnificent retro photograph from beginning to end, the color palette typed (sepia ochre or metallic blue) is better saturated and warmer (the planes are less yellow and the flames more burning), the increase of the resolution is evident with increased clarity and reinforced details (see the pores of the skin) without the images being over-picked, the contrasts are even more marked with brighter whites (the snow in Austria) and deeper blacks, and the light sources are much more realistic (from sunny to felt interiors).

SON – Writings on The Wall

A demonstrative VO where the enclosures and bass box are unleashed at the slightest opportunity. A helicopter that runs in the scene of introduction to a titanium explosion in the middle of the desert, passing through motors of cars that gnaw in the room listening to perfectly spatialized shootings, this sound track imposes without harm as a model of the genre.

Although less broad and detailed (especially at the back), the VF is also in great shape.

CONCLUSION – A family story first and foremost

While the new director of the Centre for National Security questions Bond's actions and the very existence of the MI6, His Majesty's gunman will find in this 4K Ultra HD a terrible link between him and the mysterious enemy he is tracking!

Nyctalope like Riddick and with a very good hearing, I am ready to jump on physical editions and SVOD platforms. But if the quality isn't on the rendezvous, stop at the bite! #WeLovePhysicalMedia
