from joplin, mo

this is one of the few movies that should be in every movie buffs collection, it is up there with braveheart in terms of epic. the story revolves around a general who was betrayed and left for dead, he was found by a slaver and put into the gladiator ring. the acting is superb and does have some great battle scenes. terrific movie.

What's great about it: story and action

What's not so great: nothing

$5 Blu-ray

on January 24, 2010

Watched it endless times, mostly for battle scenes and Battle of Carthage particularly. Hans Zimmer wrote an awesome score, although the entire score is not part of the extras.

What's great about it: $5 AR, awesome musical score, good military strategy

What's not so great: Joaquin Phoenix

Epic Movie

on May 31, 2012

Posted by: Sabinx7

This is definitely a must-have movie. The first disc comes with the extended version which is better than the director's cut and always a big plus and on the second disc are the extras. I read some negative reviews of people complaining about issues on audio or video so I put it on my PS3 to find something bad on it, but I was mesmerized until i remembered I was writing this review, I have not finished the movie yet but mi sure there is nothing less than perfect on this movie, the ones writing bad stuff about this Bluray might not know how to set up their TVs or are still using RCA cables.
The main movie includes:
Audio: Eng 5.1 DTS-HD, Fre 5.1 Dolby Digital, Spa 5.1 Dolby Digital
Subs: Eng, Eng SDH, Fre, Spa, Kor.

What's great about it: Image quality, sound, and the extras.

What's not so great: I still can't find something bad on this movie.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Movie, Super BluRay, 4K...not so much

on October 5, 2018

Posted by: imediaman

from Central PA

Verified Purchase:Yes

Disappointing 4K format of this spectacular film. Fortunately the BluRay disc also included is fine. This 4K was my first physical disc in this 4K format, to test out my new 4K LG UP870 player on my 75" Sony XBR75X900E. I was expecting to be blown away. I was not. The huge outside epic scenes were fine...the subtle interior firelight scenes were terrible. Blotchy black tones in the close-up faces looked like the digitizing could not handle the detail in the shadows. I think I will be streaming 4K in the future rather than buying 4K discs. But like I said, the BluRay disc was fine.
