Lol ..I'll keep that in mind. Craig is 47 so is Mendes I think so we're in good shape :)
However, it's a movie that keeps drawing me back to watch it, and I think the main reason for this is that it deals with a nascent issue that is likely to come for to the fore in the years to come.
That issue is eco-terrorism.
In a world of finite resources and ever-growing population, it's easy to see how natural resources, such as water (in the case of QoS), land, energy and other resources could become targets for greedy-eyed powerful multi-nationals who want to manipulate governments, or terrorists who want to inflict hurt by damaging said resources.
If you think about it, terrorists can do a lot more widespread damage in real terms if they flood thousands of acres of fertile arable land than if they set bombs off to kill a few people.
Imagine if a terrorist organisation were to develop a breed of locust capable of decimating acres of crops in a given location before dying in a matter of days or hours. The potential to bring countries to their knees is easy to see.
Imagine a virus capable of killing targeted livestock for a given time period before mutating into something harmless.
More than this, imagine a virus capable of targeting either one or several individual, or all people of a certain racial stock in a given area before mutating into something harmless. Such a virus would only target these people and would be harmless to everyone else.
And this is not science fiction, it is perfectly feasible, given our current state of technological development. It is likely that such pathogens are already in existence, just waiting to be released from some underground bunker beneath Siberia or the Mojave Desert.
Imagine Bond fighting such a threat, because this is what he is there for -- assuage our deepest fears, whilst seeking no thanks and no credit, so long as the world keeps on turning as it always has.
But how will Bond tackle such ephemeral adversaries in the years to come?
:))
had to get that out ;)
Problem is no matter how good the story may be in QOS it's not memorable and gets buried under a ton of frantically hysteric editing of ALL action sequences and the fast pacing of the movie in general.
If QOS got completely re-edited it might end up being as good as CR, well almost I guess.
There are various problems with it for me, but understanding it isn't the problem. I think the film attempts to service several ideas, but doesn't really explore any one of them in a satisfying manner. Had the idea of controlling the water supply been in the hands of Fleming he no doubt would have given it a very unique twist, it would've had a grandiose, bizarre thread running through it. The villain would've perhaps had some idiosyncratic connection to it. In its QoS form it's pure route one. Not only that, it never comes across as tangible. A few arty shots of taps running dry do not really cut it for me. The idea is there, and conceptually it can work, but I think it's undercooked and ultimately wasted.
By the way, by 2040 Bond will have been in public domain for 5 years in Europe, that might affect the franchise a lot.
Exactly, thank you.
Bond battles Hugo Drax's distant relative on the planet Mars. Drax plans to destroy the vast colony.
Filmed in 16 k Beyond Ultra HD resolution.

Dear Birdleson, think again about this.
Just imagine a CGI Connery.
Because it could be far worse (for you)
imagine....
I..actually randomly thought of this as well...I think that 360 degree movies might actually happen in the future...I mean there are 360 videos..so I think there might be 360 degree movies in the future.
Also...I wouldn't be surprised if dead actors are CGI-ied into movies so we might also get a Connery/Moore/Dalton/Lazenby/Brosnan/Craig/Other actors 007 movie
