Story Synopsis:
Armed with his licence to kill, Bond (Brosnan) races to Russia in search of the stolen access codes for “GoldenEye,” an awesome space weapon that can fire a devastating electromagnetic pulse toward Earth. As Bond squares off against his evil former compatriot, Alex Trevelyn, aka Agent 006 (Bean), he also battles Trevelyan’s stunning ally, Xenia Onatopp (Janssen), who crushes victims with pleasure between her ultra-toned thighs. Trivia note: GoldenEye was the name of Ian Fleming’s Jamaican home.
LaserDisc Picture:
Shot in Panavision®, the THX®-quality assured picture is presented at 2.35:1. Picture quality is stunning and exemplary in every visual aspect!
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The sound could be described at the 007 Thrill Ride! The directional spatial effects on the Dolby® AC-3® track creates a wonderful enveloping soundfield. The Dolby Digital version consistently performed better than the ProLogic® decoded version as a spatial experience. Both mixes are extremely boomy with bass energy centered at about 40Hz with extension to below 25Hz! The sound pounds and is loud. The sound designers have achieved excellent ambiance delineation particularly in the use of the discrete surrounds.
