Quantum of Solace

DVD Review
20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
Release: March 24, 2009

It would be a complete understatement to say that the latest James Bond film Quantum of Solace was a huge hit at the box office.  It was not just a huge hit, it was the king of the box office and proved that 007 is alive and well.  This fantastic blockbuster is finally ready to hit the DVD format.

Quantum of Solace marks the second Bond film to star Daniel Craig in the role of 007, and is directed by Marc Forster.

This is a direct follow-up to Casino Royale, as Bond is out for revenge to get the man who took down his love.

What Bond ends up getting in the middle of though in his hunt for revenge could never have been expected.  The leader of the criminals this time out is Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amatric),

He goes on his own, without MI6, working with Camille (Olga Kurylenko) as his new girl.

The film is absolutely over-the-top and is one of the best James Bond films these two eyes have seen to date, and I have seem them all.  Daniel Craig has blown me away once again in the role of 007, and I cannot wait to see what he does next with the character!

The video quality for this particular DVD release is as perfect as you are going to get it on the DVD format.

The same can be said for the audio, which does a phenomenal job of using the spatial channels to really engross you in the action sequences.

As for the extras, things start out on disc one with a music video from Alicia Keys and Jack White – Another Way To Die.

From there, the first disc also contains the theatrical trailer, and teaser trailer.

The meat of the extras is on the second disc, which contains plenty of nice special features.

These consist of many different featurettes which look at all areas of the film, its production, special effects, the boat chase, and much more.

The featurettes include Bond on Location, Start of Shooting, Olga Kurylenko and the Boat Chase, a look at director Marc Forster, the music of the film, and crew files.

In total, there are well over an hour of quality extras to be viewed here.

Quantum of Solace was a fantastic James Bond film and has Daniel Craig at his best as 007 once again.  For Bond fans, this is a must-buy on DVD!
