DO NOT BELIEVE THE TRASH TALK!

I have to say the only disappointing thing about this BD release is the negative response it has received. I am into the details. For example, I care enough to pick and choose which multi-platformed games I buy for PS3 or XBOX based on critical analysis by respected tech-sites. I will ALWAYS buy the superior product; and if picture quality is sub-par I will return it to the store for a refund ASAP because this stuff gets expensive! This is one of my favorite movies of all time so when I saw reviewers claiming a computer was left on auto-pilot to remaster the film in BD I was against buying it. I read forum after forum of people thrashing the quality of the film. The negative response was so profound I could not bring myself to just go out and buy it; so I rented it first to SEE FOR MYSELF. I loaded the DVD (which I owned already) on a BD player for upscaling and loaded up the BD version that I rented. I compared the two by pausing them at the same spots and switching channels with my receiver. I paid attention to the areas people were criticizing (missing arrows, smooth foreheads, too much DNR, etc) and could not see it! The sound is actually done well, and the picture looks BETTER than ever (especially when compared with the DVD). I cannot understand why any person, in replacing all of their DVD's with blu-rays, would pass this up! I actually went into Best Buy that day after viewing about 30 minutes worth of the BD I rented and bought it. I watched the whole thing start to finish and the movie is more breath-taking than ever. I thought the quality was excellent. I am not dismissing other reviews and don't doubt that the production company may have used a automatic program to make this BD; but I couldn't see it. I encourage you to see for yourself, the movie is worth it!
What's great about it: Amazing movie, everyone knows that!
What's not so great: I almost didn't buy it because of the bad reviews.
I would recommend this to a friend!

To anyone who's still wondering whether or not they should buy Gladiator on BluRay? Well the answer is, YES! But beware. There were two released versions on BluRay. The original one is the one you want to stay away from. The one you want is this one, which is the sapphire version. The Sapphire Series version is the Remastered version of the Original Bluray version that first came out. Infact, if you happen to buy the original copy, Paramaount is willing to let you trade yours in for the newer one.
What's great about it: One of the best movies on Bluray
What's not so great: The original version that first came out on BluRay.

Gladiator stands as one of the finest movies of its generation. It richly deserved the many Oscars that it received. Russell Crowe's performance is superb. The writing is crisp and the action sequences are what the story demands. The Dolby Vision and HDR-10 images are not quite up there with the very best 4K UHD releases but they do improve on the already excellent re-issued Blu-ray. Details are clearer and the overall tone is more natural. The Dolby Vision image is a bit brighter than the HDR-10 version but if your setup can only do HDR-10 you won't be disappointed. The sound track (DTS:X Master) is big and bold as it should be. Dialogue over the center channel is very clear. If you're a fan of Gladiator and have a TV capable of showing 4K HDR and/or Dolby Vision movies, this is a must buy.

Best Movie ever
on April 21, 2009
Posted by: Anonymous
from Douglasville, GA
Joquen Phoenix was superb as the dememted Ceasar who took over for his father Richard Harris. Richard Harris was a perfect choice. Russell Crowe was fantastic and is my hero. . Oliver Reed was exeptional. The music was nothing but perfect. All of the actors selected for this film was great. I have seen this move probably 50 times since 2003. Getting ready to watch it again on new HD TV we bought, Now it will feel like I am in a theater with surround sound.
What's great about it: Fantastic Period Movie of the Roman Empire
What's not so great: nothing

Paramount used too much DNR and EE on this transfer. They hit a homerun with Braveheart but this transfer is just a mess. One of the most anticipated Blu-ray's to date and they blew it. Way to go Paramount.
