from Jacksonville, FL

Verified Purchase:Yes

Classic gladiator film in 4K is head overboard heels better than the Blu-ray. The color pops a lot more and the picture quality in terms of sharpness is a lot better than the Blu-ray. DTS:X is a lot better as well as the soundtrack has been remixed to become more surround. Good buy for sure.

Finally, a beautiful version!

Verified Purchase:Yes

Finally, they have released a version that captures the movie's amazing visuals as they should be. The 4K HDR format allows for the colors to come through as intended. Vibrant without being artificial. My player doesn't currently support Dolby Vision, but the HDR10 format was fantastic. And my Sony A1E OLED avoided issues with "banding" (or "artificial contouring") that I've had in the past with Blu-Ray and DVD copies on other sets. I'll need to try my standard Blu-Ray copy to see if the banding goes away because of the TV or the format of the movie.

The sound was also fantastic. I did not play it on a system capable of handling the overhead sound. But what I got was incredibly engaging, and better balanced with the dialogue than I recall from other copies.

I've watched this film many times, but never since the first time I saw it has it been so engaging. My heart was actually beating pretty fast a number of times when viewing this copy tonight! I don't know if it was the improved visuals or the sound that made it so incredibly visceral this time out. Whatever it was, they've clearly finally addressed all the complaints over the years from reviewers saying they took a lazy approach with previous versions. This one seems really cleaned up, as if a lot of time and attention was given. But that's only fitting for such a popular film, and one so meticulously crafted.

Never gets old

on October 11, 2019

Posted by: FelixR

Verified Purchase:Yes

I did not purchased this movie in Blu Ray, only DVD. So, definitely, the picture improvement is very noticeable!

I did not see any video defects, and thoroughly enjoyed the resolution, color saturation, and sound provided in UHD.

This refers to the Extended Edition, as I have not seen the Theatrical Edition (also on this disc) yet, but I doubt picture quality would differ.

Definite upgrade from blu ray.

I have the blu ray and this is definitely an upgrade from that. The 4k really pops and it is like this is how the movie should be.

4K Awesomeness

on June 28, 2020

Posted by: Jeffers

Verified Purchase:Yes

Classic movie, even better in 4K. I have seen the movie numerous times, but never have owned it. I’m glad I waited to purchase it, because without doubt this is the best way to experience it. It looks absolutely fantastic in 4K! Great sound, and the SteelBook looks gorgeous as well.

Picture slightly better than the Blu Ray- at this point I believe studios are just making a extra buck- without trying to enhance some of these great films for 4k.
