Finally, finally, finally found NSNA on Blu-ray. I hope to go through it soon, but ironically watched the LD last night.

The DVDs seem to share the same source as the WS LD except for the Orion logo replacing the WB one. The 5.1 mix has phasing errors and seems to move the whole soundstage to the front while having all the deficiencies of the Dolby Stereo. I don’t know if it was sourced from 70mm elements but it was done for the DVD reissue and Blu-ray in 2009.
Godawful mix, best in Dolby Stereo. Mushy, indistinct, seemingly rushed and practically glorified mono. The entire film is mono except for extraneous sounds like the missiles and when the score kicks up. In fact when the score goes off its in bursts and sounds like proper Dolby Stereo.

This one will be the easiest to fix: Simply add the LD PCM to the BD.

I also found out there are apparently numerous cuts and the producer planned a deluxe LD reissue that went nowhere.
I hate, hate hate hate this picture when I think about it. I swear I will never watch it again, but I do each year. You can see they had the ability to make a great picture but squandered it. I think if it weren’t for Connery and Kersh it would have never have been finished. This is truly the uneducated and studio idea of what a Bond film is. I will never nitpick the later Moore entries for anything ever again, as they always could have been on NSNA’s level.
