Why does this blu ray look BETTER than US version?
I am glad I broke down and bought this region free import from UK. Not only the steelbook packaging cool (includes several lobby cards) the picture and sound quality is fabulous!! The US version blu ray looked too soft (maybe too much DNR?) and doesn't have the "WOW!" factor going for it (I could not tell I was watching Hi-Def)...but man, this UK version blows the US one away!!! I hated 're-buying' a title I already had, but I took the risk and glad I did! The two disc set includes the theatrical and extended versions of the film and pretty much the same supplements from US version. This is definately worth the upgrade! Why didn't the US version look this good is beyond me. Get it while you can (and its reasonably priced too for an import)Gladiator Blu-ray SteelBook [ Region free, UK Import]
