Thunderball: Limited Edition Steelbook (Blu-ray + Digital HD)

Thunderball special edition steel book. Is a great movie from the early 60s starring Sean Connery if you're into these type of movies you need to shop around again to get the lowest price they can get a little high and cost, so is your judgment.

An excellent film in a beautiful package.However...you can pick it up from Best Buy for $7-10...don't make the same mistake I did purchasing it from Amazon.

Works really well. I am very happy now that I can get my computer on my big screen.

I just bought the new Thunder Ball Steel book Blu Ray and even though I own the" Sean Connery Collection " vol.1+2 , I still wanted to se it in BluRay. First off I never noticed that Bonds shirt in the opening scene / fight is blue. This film has always been special for Me since it was my first Bond film and since been a vivid Fan since. Starting off the John Barry soundtrack is great with the Tom Jones theme song ( though I still like Mr. Kiss , Kiss Bang Bang theme I liked better ) with the opening design by Maurice Binder is always a feast to enjoy with early Bond films . The movie opens with Largo entering like European type social services where they extort people to be in their debt to do their bidding. Then He enters though a secret door to where in a large room with people seated in chairs as # 1 has them report on financial reports as one is too greedy finds himself electrocuted as then Largo explains His plans to steal 2 Nuclear warheads and blow them off near the Florida coast unless they get millions of dollars .We go to England where M sent Bond to a Spa recover from His fast life , as Bond uncovers something strange there. This film has it all gadgets , Bond underwater , on land , in the air . Its nice to see when Bond was a " real player with Women "The movie stays someone with the book , though some characters are included in the film where not in the novel , also much more action than the novel . This film gives Bond wit as He play cat and mouse with Largo before Largo wants Him dead .This film sports a great underwater fight scene . I found that the colors are very good as the sound . I saw more detail in things I haven't seen before I owned this BluRay. This is the first " Classic Bond "with Connery in Bluray and Im going to pick up FRWL next . They quite more cheaper on Amazon than where I bought mine . If your a Fan collecting more 007 DVDs and want the Steel Books , they are better made than some I bought of another title . These Books are made to last better than then some that have too much plastic inside. .They are nice to collect the ones You like for a cheap price .

I am a James Bond simply fanatic

THUNDERBALL is a very nostalgic and endearing early Bond Film. This film somehow sums up a feeling of nostalgia and endearment for the way it engulfed audiences, myself included, into the wonderful world of James Bond. Sean Connery did it with such effortless and natural charm and aplomb like no other. He's a tough and resourceful blunt instrument with a level of intelligence sophistication still impressive to this day. The world of THUNDERBALL is elegant where the villains live an opulent style of life which is a veneer for their sinister plans. In a bit of irony James Bond lives in that same world and he is up to the challenge to foil whatever mayhem they concoct.For the 60's Bond phenomenon THUNDERBALL is the peak, the apex of the James Bond genre for that era.After a one-film hiatus SPECTRE returns. So has Sean Connery as he was finally groomed to perfection as the definitive screen incarnation of James Bond in GOLDFINGER. Terence Young is also back as director. However, he seems to have been influenced over the fine-tuning that Guy Hamilton brought to the main character and overall tone of GOLDFINGER. Due to that film's success Young seems to be floundering here being diverted from his vision of the character that he helped bring to the screen. Young is 180 degrees from being the auteur he envisioned himself to be.The film seems loosely constructed and leisurely acted. Adolfo Celi as Emilio Largo looks the part but he never seems a real threat to Bond. In fact he seems to lose every encounter with Bond whether it be at the gambling tables or engaging in idle banter on the merits of women vs. guns. Bond outdoes him in skeet shooting without even looking at the target. What makes the film very memorable is John Barry's rich score and Lamar Boren's beautiful and colorful underwater photography. The two went hand in hand. I also thought the villains' plot to hijack a Vulcan jet was extremely well filmed and executed. This film has a very British feel to as it should have.

Very cool case ART ! It's the same transfer as earlier Blu's but you get a new Ultraviolet DL too. I usually don't double dip in that I already had the same blu ray disc from an earlier release but I thought the steelbook was cool ! I didn't buy from Amazon though in this case. Of course The movie is great too !
