The World is Not Enough Blu-ray
James BondMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer | 1999 | 128 mins | Rated PG-13 | Mar 24, 2009
The World is Not Enough(1999)Action | Adventure | Thriller     In the 19th film of the franchise, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is once again pitted against Valentin Zukovsky (Robbie Coltrane), the Russian mobster from Goldeneye. Judi Dench returns as M and Desmond Llewelyn returns as Q. For more details about The World is Not Enough on Blu-ray, see The World is Not Enough Blu-ray Review The World is Not Enough Blu-ray, Video Quality  For those who follow the Bond releases on Blu-ray, it should come as no surprise that The World is Not Enough has been given the same 1080p AVC Mpeg-4 video treatment as all of MGM’s other Bond releases, while maintaining the film’s correct original aspect ratio of 2.35:1. As has been the case with each of these releases, the film looks better than ever on Blu-ray and presents the Bond aficionado with a first ever opportunity to own the film in a quality that often surpasses the film’s theatrical exhibition. The World is Not Enough is a strange looking Bond adventure, as the film tends to feature a large number of bland and colorless locations that make for an almost monochromatic looking movie. That’s not to say that the film doesn’t have its fair share of colorful scenes; it does and they are all rendered in a lush and filmic manner. Black levels are average throughout the presentation and contrast tends to be blown out ever so slightly. Detail is also very good, though it doesn’t approach the level of detail found in the best Blu-ray transfers. The World is Not Enough is a solid transfer, it’s just not especially interesting to look at. The World is Not Enough Blu-ray, Audio Quality The World is Not Enough, like its Bond film siblings, makes its way to Blu-ray with the full MGM lossless 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio pedigree. The film is a little less aggressive than its contemporaries, so viewers might be somewhat taken aback by its relative subtlety. Fortunately, this stylistic choice has absolutely nothing to do with this otherwise fine presentation, and shouldn’t be interpreted as an indication of the film not delivering finely tuned action audio effects. Since The World is Not Enough plods along a little more than your average Bond movie, there are considerable lengths of time in the film where dialogue is the soundtrack’s primary focus. These scenes are all rendered well and never suffer from breakup or intelligibility problems. Fear not, however, as the film’s action sequences do liven up the proceedings with excellent use of the rear soundstage and satisfying bass. If I could offer one minor quibble about this presentation, it would be the long stretches of time that pass with very little happening on the soundtrack. Of course, this has nothing to do with this encode, and is very much a matter of taste. Regardless, The World is Not Enough is fitting and effective on Blu-ray.
