For Your Eyes Only Blu-ray Movie Review
Reviewed by Martin Liebman June 16, 2020
20th Century Fox/MGM and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive SteelBook release for Director John Glen's 1981 James Bond film 'For
Your Eyes Only.' The disc and digital content appears to be identical to that found in the 2008 wide release. I do not own that version and cannot absolutely verify. See the
'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

For Your Eyes Only Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
This is the embodiment of the slick, smooth, shiny, fingerprint magnet SteelBook, the latter of which is only amplified by the dark colors. The front
panel depicts Sir Roger Moore as James Bond, appearing facing forward on the right hand side, pointing his Walther handgun forward from about navel
level. The left
hand side is entirely black. What appears to be water droplets begin to seep in midway across and appear both behind the character yet also define his
skin
elements; the black carries over to form Bond's jacket, necktie, and hair. The film's title appears in white block letters, centered, slightly below the
midline. The familiar "007" text appears below, also in white. The rear panel is essentially a blank black slate with the watery elements appearing in
some density, but still sporadically, on the left. A 20th Century Fox logo and a fair bit of legalese appear bottom left while an MGM logo appears bottom
right of center. The spine carries over the black coloring. The film's title appears in white block letters, center. MGM and 007 logos appear up top while a
Blu-ray logo has been placed at the bottom.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The lone Blu-ray disc is situated on the right in a central hub. The inner print
is very minimalist, offering what amounts to a blank, black slate with large teal colored "007" text at the bottom, only the top half or so of which is
visible.

For Your Eyes Only Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
Aside from the fingerprinting this is a nice SteelBook. The Bond SteelBook releases have always favored simplicity, and this one is no different. The film
is OK and the
Blu-ray is OK. For die-hard Bond collectors only.
