NO TIME TO DIE (Theatrical Release USA 2021)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì 

No Time to Die—interesting presentation—significantly reduces action, violence, and sex scenes from previous Bond 007 movies. This movie runs on an ‘it is what it is’ storyline. It will take time to get used to a new format, but in its own way can be an improvement over the old format. There are some interesting twists in this story almost as if it is testing the possibility that there could be a female Bond or a Bond replacement all together. The movie ends oddly.

Storyline

This spy film is about a weapon that involves nanobots and the attempts to control who has it and who can use it. 

Additional Thanks 

Thank you to Director Cary Joji Fukunaga for directing effort. Thank you to Producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for making the film possible. Cast includes: Daniel Craig, Rami Malek, Lea Seydoux, Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Christoph Waltz, and Ralph Fiennes. 

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. Be prepared for a ‘not the usual’ James Bond 007 film. Everything is ‘toned down’. It introduces a marital-type relationship and a child into that relationship. It’s worth watching, but much different than expectations for a 007 movie.
