Never Say Never Over again Blu-ray Review
Bond? James Bond?
Reviewed by Ben Williams, March 24, 2009
Upon casual inspection, the James Bond films have an enduring link to the Broccoli family unit and EON productions; 1 could easily surmise that the legendary family of producers invented the idea of bringing Bond to the silver screen. With a bit more scrutiny, though, history tells a slightly different story. Manner back in 1958, Bail author Ian Fleming was in a rut; his repeated attempts to sell his Bond stories equally films were met with ambivalence from producers, leaving him convinced that his stories would never brand their style to the argent screen. Enter Kevin McClory, a successful filmmaker, screenwriter and a visionary, who brought Fleming a host of new ideas and materials for his Bond grapheme. McClory, working with boyfriend author Jack Whittingham, created the concept of SPECTRE and the Blofeld character, while transforming Bond into more of a hero for all mankind, rather than a meager field agent.
Equally the 2 men completed their original script, entitled Thunderball, Fleming secretly sent his publishers a copy and was immediately asked to re-write the script as a new Bail novel. When the novel appeared some months later, McClory and Whittingham immediately brought arrange confronting Fleming and were ultimately awarded the rights to all versions of Thunderball, including the novel. McClory and Whittingham licensed their rights to EON productions in 1963, allowing their story to exist used for the film version of Thunderball, but retained the material'south ownership. Throughout the sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties, McClory waged a series of legal battles with United Artists and their eventual owners, MGM, over their rights to make an independent Bond moving picture; i that fell outside the EON Productions banner and United Artists' control. McClory was finally successful in 1983, when Never Say Never Again, a remake of Thunderball featuring the original Bond, himself, Sean Connery, arrived in theaters to the great dismay of the Broccoli family and MGM. McClory however holds the rights to the Thunderball story to this day, promising that the world volition encounter nevertheless some other version of his original idea on the silverish screen.
I can't recall of whatsoever other examples of a remake, filmed xx years after the original, where the original star returned to play the same part. That'southward the case in Never Say Never Once again, as Connery made his showtime advent as James Bond in 12 years for the flick. The moving-picture show'south championship is an inside joke referencing Connery's ain words on the subject; he'd vowed to never play James Bond again. Those familiar with the plot of Thunderball will, doubtlessly, recognize the plot of Never Say Never Again; the two films are based on the aforementioned general story and characteristic most of the aforementioned characters and plot points. Bond enthusiasts will recognize several characters and locations going by different names every bit well, due to copyright issues. Algernon (Alec McCowen) is actually fan-favorite "Q", while a yacht that factors into the film's action is referred to as "The Flying Saucer;" the English language translation of the ship known as "Disco Volante" in Thunderball.
Never Say Never Again begins with Bond unsuccessfully taking part in a series of simulated missions for MI6. There'south a new "Thousand" (Edward Fox) in town who isn't fond of the "00" branch; he'southward relegated Bond to assignments as an instructor and has all but disbanded the "00" forces. Bond isn't getting any younger at this point, so he's ordered to make clean up his act and to get into amend shape by checking into a health spa. There, Bond accidentally uncovers a plot put in movement past SPECTRE, and the organisation's ruthless leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Max Von Sydow), to steal several nuclear warheads, threaten the world and collect a giant ransom. When the warheads become missing, MI6 panics, reactivates Bond and sends him on a mission to the Caribbean to work his double-0 magic on the situation. Once in the Bahamas, Bond encounters Maximilian Largo (Klaus Maria Brandauer), an agent of SPECTRE who lives on a behemothic high-tech yacht. Bond will re-squad with his former pal, CIA Amanuensis Felix Leiter (Bernie Casey), and Largo's girlfriend Domino (Kim Basinger) to put a terminate to their nefarious plans.
For some reason, Never Say Never Again is virtually always labeled as an inferior Bond picture. That couldn't be farther from the truth; the film does a lot of things right, while being forgivable in what it does wrong. When the film was released in 1983, audiences had been exposed to over a decade of Roger Moore Bond films that were becoming more than and more campy and further removed from the origins of the graphic symbol. Sean Connery'due south surprising determination to pace dorsum into the role was a welcome respite from Moore's take on the grapheme. Connery is clearly enjoying himself in the picture, showing his enthusiasm in just about every scene with a wry grin, a spring in his step and the sexist one-liners flowing with ease. His charisma and verve serves as a reminder that this is the man that made the character; Sean Connery is James Bond.
Never Say Never Again features a number of great action sequences, from underwater fights, to motorbike chases; as well as an unfortunate reliance on some primitive and hokey bluescreen work. Fortunately, the film is so effortless in its direction and story, that none of this is particularly bothersome. Never Say Never Once more as well benefits from one of the strongest villains in Bond history; Klaus Maria Brandauer turns in a bravura functioning as Largo, while managing to stay within the realm of reality and fugitive the megalomaniacal histrionics that often back-trail Bond villain performances. He's only fantastic in the role. Kim Basinger is an acceptable Domino, but comes beyond as something of a hard sell when compared to Thunderball's Domino, Claudine Auger. Finally, Max Von Sydow is an effectively creepy Blofeld that seems to have a bit more personality than those of the EON Productions films. His addition to the bandage, along with that of Mr. Brandauer'south, gives Never Say Never Again i of the strongest rosters of villains in the history of the franchise, bar none.
Invariably, the question ever arises: Is Never Say Never Over again equally practiced as Thunderball? Not actually. The story is virtually identical, of grade, but Never Say Never Again doesn't have the style of the original. Thunderball was one of the pivotal Bond films and helped to cement many of Bond'south signature trademarks. His sense of fashion, along with his decidedly sexist behavior, was an aspect of Bond'due south character that has followed him through the decades. It'south fresh and almost charming in Thunderball, while already looking dated in Never Say Never Once more. Regardless, Never Say Never Again is very entertaining and faithful to Bail as a character. It might non achieve the heights of the Bail films from the sixties, just it sure beats anything from the likes of Roger Moore. Recommended!
Never Say Never Once more Blu-ray, Video Quality
Never Say Never Once again hasn't always been given specially loving treatment on video, in spite of its success at the box office. This Blu-ray release represents the first serious attempt at rectifying this, while still not going far enough to nowadays the film in a manner befitting a Sean Connery Bail picture. Presented in 1080p and encoded with AVC Mpeg-iv, at the film's original theatrical aspect ratio of two.35:1, Never Say Never Again looks pretty darn good, despite a few glaring issues. The primary problem with the release is impress harm; there are a number of scenes where print scratches and dirt become obvious, marring this otherwise splendid presentation. I noticed more issues cropping upward during the movie's special effects shots, especially during obvious optical composites. Clearly, Never Say Never Once more hasn't been run through the restoration process at Lowry, similar EON Productions' films have.
Regardless, the good elements outweigh the bad in Never Say Never Again. Contrast is more often than not impressive, with rich black levels. Colors are slightly washed-out, simply that's probably the nature of the pic'southward early-eighties photography. Particular is moderate, but appropriate given the source material. Grain is slightly inconsistent, with heavier grain appearing in special effects shots where optical printing was used. It'south zip out of the ordinary for a motion-picture show of the early eighties. Lastly, in that location aren't any noticeable compression- related issues with Never Say Never Again; the moving picture has been given a high quality encode. While the film doesn't rise to aforementioned the video heights as most of the other Bond films, this is nonetheless a worthy upgrade from any previous version of the film. Never Say Never Once again looks better than ever on Blu-ray. Recommened.
Never Say Never Once again Blu-ray, Audio Quality
I was fully expecting Never Say Never Again to exist a disappointment in the audio section. Surprisingly, the film has been given a substantial update in its sound mix, thanks to a stiff helping of five.1 DTS-HD Master Audio encoding combined with some serious audio remixing. There'southward a dainty since of temper throughout the film that mixes in a number of rear directional effects in action sequences. Dialogue is, for the near part, isolated to the center channel, while the film's somewhat awkward musical score takes root entirely in the front soundstage.
For a movie from the early 1980s, Never Say Never Over again will never sound as upwardly-to- date as, say, Breakthrough of Solace. Non that it necessarily should, for that matter. I was duly impressed with this updated soundtrack's restraint. Information technology would have been piece of cake to remix the rails to the signal of being ridiculous. Never Say Never Again is recommended.
Never Say Never Again Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Here'southward what'southward included:
- Feature Length Audio Commentary with Director Irvin Kershner and James Bond Historian Steven Jay Rubin
- "The Big Run a risk"
- "Sean is Dorsum"
- The Girls of Never Say Never Again
- Theatrical Trailer
- Notwithstanding Photo Gallery
Never Say Never Again isn't exactly loaded with extras, but is notable for the stellar Irvin Kershner & Steven Jay Rubin commentary track. Most film aficionados volition recognize Mr. Kersher as the director of The Empire Strikes Dorsum; he's an interesting guy who clearly knows his stuff. Bond historian Steven Jay Rubin adds a welcome historical touch to the commentary and livens upwardly the give-and-take with bits of trivia and fun facts. "The Large Run a risk" is the most worthwhile of the set's iii featurettes. It does a fairly decent job of presenting an overview of the legal issues that made the moving-picture show possible, though die-difficult Bond disciples will be left wanting more. Finally, there's a dizzy theatrical trailer likewise as a series of still photos included.
Never Say Never Again Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
While it certainly isn't the all-time of the Bond films, Never Say Never Again is far from being the worst. In fact, it's a remarkably entertaining diversion in the Bond universe that manages to entertain while showcasing Sean Connery's last take on the legendary spy he helped create. Bail fans will love the movie'due south tongue-in-cheek manner and will get a kicking out of seeing a slightly older Connery in an unexpected return to the part that made him famous. This Blu-ray release of Never Say Never Again is conspicuously the finest presentation of the film that has ever graced domicile screens, though an unfortunate amount of print damage does detract slightly from the feel. The moving picture'due south sound presentation is generally impressive, if restrained; supplements are, all the same, lacking in depth. Ultimately, Never Say Never Once again is a strange footnote in cinema history that manages to be genuinely enjoyable, while showcasing a number exceptional performances. Never Say Never Once again is recommened.
