Casino Royale Blu Ray : My Take

Lately I've been very interested in the James Bond Series, thus this became my first blu ray buy for my just acquired PS3. It was a fortunate case as I got it only for RM50 as it was a second hand purchase. As it was in good condition, i couldn't really complain.

As my PS3 slurped in the disc, I was then presented with the awesome 1080P quality of the new James Bond movie. The pictures were so crisp, completely justifying a purchase of a Full HDTV. And best of all, the sound, it sounded so spectacular as you can hear even the most minute of glasses shattering and impressive explosions. In full 5.1 glory~ Eva Green can't look any better than this.

On the story, the new Casino Royale is basically a retelling of James Bond, complete with updates in terms of technology and storyline that is up to date with today's style. If you'd watch the old Bond films, you may find this film's pacing a bit to fast for your liking, but on a personal level, I think this movie has a good amount of action with a lot of good story in it.

Most importantly, Eva Green... *sigh* she compliments Daniel Craig Well. Very well.

Great movie all in all!
