The one i had (35gb copy) was pretty bloated and was trumped with a non-bloated 14gb copy. It has 5.1ch DTS english audio.
So it’s a compressed track and not the lossless DTS-HD.
I wonder why they used that because ATV4K can deliver lossless tracks.
It’s almost like they are holding back some features for the physical discs like HDR and some new lossless original audio. At least that’s what I’m hoping!
Another release with poor original audio and I’ll begin to lose the will.

Dr No seems too dark and contrasty. This ones a total fail as its obliterated the day for night scenes when they arrive at Crab Key and battle the “dragon”.I just checked this out and, as far as I can tell, this scene looks the same as the BD. The day-for-night scene when they encounter the dragon is dark as it should be. Where exactly is the effect missing?
It might be due to this copy floating around but when Connery is talking to Felix, then getting into the boat, unlike the Blu-ray, its’ so dark you can’t make out anything on his face. It’s all an inky black mess. Others running ATV4K have also found the same.
When the “Ultimate Edition” of the (then 20) 007 movies came out, weren’t those movies already in 4k before they were scaled down to DVD and Blu Ray? They did have a “4k Restoration” credit at the end of some of those movies I remember. And in one of the making of segments 4k came up once or twice. I can’t imagine they did new scans, maybe the original Blu Rays and DVDs were heavily compressed (or DNR’d to death in the case of the Brosnan Movies).
Also GE 35mm is beautiful. Thank you so much
Thats right they did have that credit and I’ve seen a handful of them at screenings using the DCPs by Park Circus.
And you’re correct, they are the same versions (where 4K was used). I’ve been going through them and most are just a 2160p bump of the Blu Rays. Many still have that faux grain or virtually no grain. Majesty’s still has the clipped whites and all the other issues, but I could make out an uptick in detail on DAF. LALD is more curious, the framing is identical but perhaps they had gone back a few more steps in the Lowry process as there is more visible grain.
