Earlier I thought it would be neat if they had a little backstory for Safin where he and his large family lived in poverty in a particularly overpopulated part of the world, when Mr. White / SPECTRE swooped in to "rescue" them and bring them to that island, only to ultimately reveal they were using the family to test their genetics-based chemical weapon and they all died, but in hindsight that even would have been a little too on the nose. The way it was handled in the film was perfectly adequate, IMO.
And smaller, more focused efforts.
When Safin tells Bond that 'you have something of mine', I just assumed that he meant Madeleine - which, as RichardThe Bruce said, is pretty much confirmed shortly thereafter when he offers Bond a straight exchange of Madeleine for Mathilde, no?
Like NickTwentyTwo, I don't mind that the script doesn't explain or lay out every element of Safin's intentions. I like the idea that he's a nutjob who hasn't got a perfectly worked-out plan or watertight motivation for every aspect of it. The bloke's a whacko, why would his scheme make seamless sense? The fact that Safin's plans make coherent sense to him but sound mental when he speaks them aloud fits with the more, er, outre elements of NTTD.
That Safin himself doesn't quite turn out to be some ruthlessly efficient supervillain with a hyperfocus on a clear objective fits with the dismissive, contemptuous way that Bond kills him. You can respect a worthy enemy, but the way that Bond shoots Safin shows that he has complete disdain for him. Another nutter who tried to play God - sighs wearily, bang-bang-bang, etc. This is all to the good, I think.
Isn't Madeleine with Primo at that point, though?
This is exactly how all our governments are, so nothing extraordinary there.
Yes, you do have a point there.
Not other features. Either they remain exclusive to physical media or iTunes adds them later.

Expires in about 22 hours. I can fix a new link after that.
FYI: 007.com just uploaded video with Linus Sandgren on youtube
Thank you so much for uploading these. I bought the steel book but don’t have a 4K UHD blu ray player, I was gutted that the extras weren’t included on the blu ray.
The digital code for NTTD is Apple TV, but meanwhile I have literally every digital download I’ve bought on Vudu.
Is there anything I can do, save for buying it twice?
Thank you kindly! I'm still waiting for this to be released in my country at the end of Jan. So these are much appreciated.
Your DNA had obviously been targeted, but you only got minimal traces of the nanobots, thankfully
This is so stupid.
It is that, but she also says something before that that I can’t quite make out. [/quote]
Just before it, Ana says "Coño!" (oh crap!) when the spotlight turns to Bond.[/quote]
Great thanks Qbranch. 👍
That s nothing. Yesterday, I saw a couple picking up an enormous Christmas ornament package at the post office.
No wonder I rarely go anymore.
Shame the disc has no commentary from Fukunaga. The extras are interesting but not very long.
Am looking forward to watching my 4k disc, just received in the post!
I love the film up till that contrived ending. You just don't kill James Bond.
Let me know what you think 👍
I find myself in a weird state of both agreeing with you about not killing James Bond, but not minding that they did it anyways.
It's only once, and they'll probably never do it again, so for me I'm happy this is one story out of 25 so far. Happy to have it.
When the next film comes out, I know there'll be tons of posts saying "SPOILER ALERT! JAMES BOND SURVIVES THE END OF THE FILM!"
I think with each subsequent viewing the end loses it's power and ultimately just becomes a mediocre idea. Unlike the OHMSS ending that is still emotionally powerful to this day.
