Live and Let Die Blu-ray
James BondMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer | 1973 | 121 mins | Rated PG | Oct 21, 2008
Live and Let Die(1973)Action | Adventure | Crime | Thriller     James Bond battles the forces of black magic in this high-octane adventure that hurtles him from the streets of New York City to Louisiana's bayou country. With charm, wit and deadly assurance, Roger Moore steps in as Agent 007 and takes on a powerful drug lord (Yaphet Kotto) with a diabolical scheme to conquer the world. For more details about Live and Let Die on Blu-ray, see the Live and Let Die Blu-ray Review Starring: Roger Moore, Yaphet Kotto, Jane Seymour, Clifton James, Julius Harris Director: Guy Hamilton Live and Let Die Blu-ray, Video Quality  Live and Let Die comes to Blu-ray looking better than ever. The film was restored using the Lowry digital restoration process and has made the transition to 1080p , by way of AVC Mpeg-4 encoding, in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. It’s amazing to see a 35 year old film look so completely fresh and detailed. Contrast is excellent throughout the presentation with ample shadow details and deep blacks. Fine detail is impeccably preserved and gives Live and Let Die a look that belies the film’s actual age. Colors are also richly saturated, with vibrant reds and blues that give the film a strikingly flamboyant color palette. Pervious versions of the film on home video have not done justice to the excellent photography on display in Live and Let Die. Grain is present in levels appropriate to a film of this age. Noise never interferes nor do the effects of any kind of noise reduction. Live and Let Die simply looks as it should. Digital nasties don’t rear their heads her either. I didn’t detect a hint of edge enhancement, haloes, macroblocking or banding. All told, this is a spectacular transfer that shows how older films can fare well in the high definition arena if restored properly. Highly recommended! Live and Let Die Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Unfortunately, no level of lossless encoding can help a soundtrack that is poorly recorded. Live and Let Die suffers from an an abundance of audio issues that this 5.1 DTS HD-Master Audio track just can’t correct. Dialogue is poorly recorded, leaving scenes sounding muted and incomprehensible and sound effects suffer by like the were recoded inside a tin shack. It’s clear that those involved in remixing this track were hampered by bad source material that just couldn’t be improved upon. About the only bright spot in this mix is the music. It was obviously recorded with a lot more care and attention to proper fidelity - - exactly what one would expect from Paul McCartney and George Martin. Live and Let Die also includes the original mono soundtrack that was featured during the film’s theatrical exhibition. It suffers from the same problems as the DTS track, but neuters the musical score. You’re probably better off sticking with the lossless track, but don’t expect for the folks at MGM to have magically turned older material that was recorded poorly into anything even close to a modern surround track.
