1917(2019)

8.0/10

dir. Sam Mendes

S-Tier

S-Tier Universal 4K with a perfect 5.0 specs score. Roger Deakins' cinematography in HDR is the reason to own this, and the one-take illusion works even better at home where you can study the transitions.

Spectre(2015)

6.8/10

dir. Sam Mendes

A-Tier

A-Tier 4K Spectre disc with the usual Sony Bond treatment. The opening Day of the Dead tracking shot benefits from the extra resolution, though some people have run into playback issues on older machines.

Skyfall(2012)

7.3/10

dir. Sam Mendes

A-Tier

Collector Instagram is full of this one right now. The 4K transfer was already well-regarded and the steelbook packaging turns up in almost every Bond collection photo.
