Watched this last night. First time I've had my projector and AV system on 'in anger' for ages as we had some friends round to watch it with us. I sat off to the side as a courtesy to give our friends the prime seat, so maybe some of the Atmos effects were a bit off due to this; some bits where Bond was talking via an earpiece sounded like they came from directly above me (I was sat below the front top speaker) and seemed really 'off' compared with the action...I'll have to take another listen from the main seat.
I thought the picture looked really good; HDR2020 dynamically tone mapped via my Lumagen into a JVC X7500 in a properly blacked out room...pretty much reference I'd say, though maybe I was just wowed as I'd forgotten how good content can look on the big screen after so long not using it.
Plenty of bass on the soundtrack too in places (the typical nightclub scene with thumping bass surprised our guests with the bass from 2x15" subs and a bass shaker under their seat ).
I won't comment on the plot, but it was entertaining enough, though apart from checking the Atmos bit I mentioned above, I doubt I'll watch it again, at least for a long time (unless we have other guests who want to watch it I guess). That's more an indication of why I don't use my set up much though as I don't tend to re-watch films unless years apart and there's not much I want to watch these days.
As a kid my Dad used to take me to watch Bond films when I went to visit him (I lived with my Mum), so I have many happy memories of the Roger Moore era watching them with him. The night before his funeral we stopped at a hotel and had a walk along the sea front to go for a drink. We walked past one of the cinemas he used to take me to and of course, this was when NTTD was showing...very fitting and I'm sure he'd have chuckled about the irony/timing of this showing. I think he'd have enjoyed it.
