The Ridley Scott masterpiece, Gladiator, is finally represented in all of it's epic glory via HD format. Now there have been a number of reviewers splitting hairs over certain frames not being as polished as they would have expected from a Blu-ray release. I am not a strict videofile, but I have watched close to a hundred movies in HD. While I did recognize a few shots that were slightly less than polished, there wasn't any reason for me to give this release anything less than four stars for video quality alone. The distortions in video quality are nominal and have been overstated by a few strict videofiles. Having owned the theatrical release on DVD, I found the Blu-ray release to be a worthy upgrade due to the inclusion of the extended cut and the promise of a much better picture. It delivered on both! This is five star high definition release and a must own for fans of Gladiator and action films.
What's great about it: ...the film has been afforded further justice via the BluRay platform.
What's not so great: Not a thing. Gladiator is a cinematic masterpiece and all the better on Blu-ray.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thus far, this is the greatest sci-fi film of the 21st century. The seamless quality of SFX, use of a youthful pool of acting talent, and an excellent story line make for a cinematic experience that has shattered any sci-fi release in the past decade (perhaps the last two decades). I know that there are a lot of dissenting Trek purists out there, but not a single one can doubt the production quality and wide amount of appeal that surrounds this film.
I will look forward to more Trek films by J.J. Abrams.
What's great about it: Ultra sharp HD movie. Quality of cinamatography and SFX is seamless.
What's not so great: Perhaps there could have been more extras.
I would recommend this to a friend!
