Die Another Day
Summary
James Bonddirector Lee Tamahori defendsDie Another Day ’s controversial sci - fi gadgets . Released in 2002,Die Another Daymarks actorPierce Brosnan ’s final time playing 007 . The motion picture , which also stars Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike , follows Bond as he attempts to take down an eccentric ball field mogul who plans to use the Icarus , a solar - powered satellite , to start a war between North and South Korea . Die Another Dayearned mostly disconfirming reexamination from critics and was hard pick apart for being too far - fetched with its plot of land and gadgets , which included an inconspicuous Aston Martin .
" So even the [ Icarus ] … That ’s based on another Russian effort to bring sunlight into the wintertime months , by reflecting the sun ’s ray onto parts of Russia and be able to grow crops in the eye of wintertime . It never knead out , and it ’s too big an array to set up there to do so , but that ’s where it had its foundation in some solid scientific discipline . "
Did Die Another Day Stray Too Far Into Sci-Fi?
Pierce Brosnan’s Final James Bond Movie Missed The Mark
WhileDie Another Day ’s gadgetsmay have been found on real technology , invisible cars and a satellite using sun - power optical maser beam to melt an ice castle do still feel quite far - fetched , even 20 days afterwards . It ’s not these elements on their own , however , that wereDie Another Day ’s big problem , but rather how they fit into the film as a whole . In general , Brosnan ’s final junket as Bond felt too over - the - top and too silly .
The James Bond gadgets were no more prevalent than during the Pierce Brosnan era of 007 movie , and all of them are swell gadgets in their own rightfulness .
A little second of ridiculousness has always been a part of theBondmovie formula , butDie Another Daytakes the franchise too far into fiction . A cardinal action sequence , for example , sees chemical bond surfing a giant tsunami waving in Iceland , and the entire scene just does n’t attend at all real . The characters are another problem with Brosnan ’s final entry , with the villains feeling too generic and campy , and their rarified plan with the Icarus to detonate mine between North and South Korea feeling needlessly complicated .
There ’s a world then , where the Icarus and the unseeable Aston Martin body of work in aBondfilm , but they would have to be include in a way that feel more grounded and credible . Daniel Craig ’s running game as 007was well - like in part because his early installments stripped the type down and remove the gizmo and the more far - fetched ingredient , telling a more credible tale . There ’s for certain room to fetch back some of the sillyBondelements fromDie Another Dayin a future film , but they would just postulate to be surrounded by credible fictional character and storylines .
