Richards has trouble playing herself in most films, much less an expert at anything. Whoever cast this flick is in dire need of a career change. On DVD, The World is Not Enough doesn't quite match up to previous Bond special editions, but it's not too shabby either. The video on this DVD is very good, with just a few minor issues. The color saturation and accuracy is excellent, as is the contrast.
Blacks are deep, yet nicely detailed.
There's one scene in particular where I noticed this - late in chapter 8, when M is briefing Bond. Look at the wood and stone work on the walls. It's plenty dark, yet you can still see plenty of grain and texture detail. I did notice that on multiple standard TVs, some of the text in the opening credits seemed to be crowding the edges of the screen, but it looked fine on an anamorphic display. I also noticed a slight bit of digital artifacting in a couple of underwater shots, but nothing distracting.
