Default 'Never Say Never Again' - High-Def Digest Review

Josh has reviewed 'Never Say Never Again.' He says this remake of 'Thunderball' is inferior to the original. This Blu-ray has fairly good video, awful audio, but some okay supplements. For the Bond fan who must have them all, this is for you.

Full review here:

Is there a reason why all we get about the bluray is the tech specs, no review?

Well, there is a review. It just hasn't gone live yet. I'm guessing there's a problem with the server, but Mike would know for sure. There was no review posted this morning, but I submitted two over the weekend that were ready to go, and I'm sure others did as well. And Mike's been around to approve them, so it must be a tech problem.

Then what is the point of posting the link if the review is not up yet?

However, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who thought it had horrible audio.

I'm guessing he thought the problem was fixed, but soon found out otherwise.

also, these threads are usually posted right before the review is posted. if you catch them fast, they normally go to the tech page before a few minutes pass when the review goes live main page. this may be so that the thread can be linked in the review, that'd be my guess.

still, look forward to seeing it when it does pop up.

Sorry guys. This is embarrassing. Had a rather off morning and didn't realize this had goofed. Came back later and was plowing through other site work, happily oblivious. It's up now. My apologies!

If you guys see this happen again, please feel free to shoot me a message if it still isn't fixed. I was checking forums but obviously suffering a case of the Mondays.

Does anybody know if the $5 coupon in QoS can be used on this?

I'm guessing no, but I want to be sure. If yes, then it's to Target for this week's special.

my coupon doesn't show it with all the other front covers, and i used the check portion today on TWINE (10 bucks is about right, and they were out of Goldfinger), so i can't tell you if it's on the printed list. but i'd venture a guess and say no, since all of the other catalog releases are pictured.

Interesting review Josh. Glad you went into the history behind NSNA.
