The Rome SPECTRE meeting is one of the most operatically shot pieces in a Bond film, with a lovely flame-like look to it. The train scenes have the same golden eloquence about them, that makes simple moments feel important.
I would've just kept a little more visual variety in the film, in regard to color. The yellow filtering hits a lot of the time, but that should've been axed for the Austria scenes to make the white snow pop, and in Mexico City section so that we can see all the vibrant colors of the festivities unrestrained.
SF didn't make these kinds of mistakes, but I still hold SP's style far up there in the series when compared to a vast majority of the films. Only the 60s films would be able to compete with the style of these current Bond entries.

Aside from the lack of a commentary track, it's the usual bare bones we always get. I don't count the SF video blogs as blu-ray content either, as those were and still are available on the web first and foremost. They're glorified special features, and that's all SF has.
The extensive SP behind the scenes videos were great, and more in-depth than SF's features ever got. The only thing that makes SF win the battle is Mendes' commentary, which is great.
False media
Sadly, this is true, and I want to puke.
This will be the first time since November 2015 when I caught it twice on the big screen.
I'll see if my opinion has changed from my distinctly different 2nd watch.
Bit premature, the film isn't even in production yet.
Yes I agree with that!
If you're pouring over $300 million into a film, the last thing the home video release should be is barebones.
If paying someone to write the third act of the script and a decent soundtrack got the chop then the DVD extras stood no hope.
The last few films have been sorely lacking extras wise.
Then you have the alternate ending and other assorted bits from QoS that have yet to see the light of day. I'd pay good money for a proper edition of the film that contains all of that missing stuff.
I remember buying the DVD for Spider-Man 2 in 2004, and that had two discs with something like ten hours of special features. We will never, ever see those days again.
