Gladiator
Gladiator (Sapphire Series) [Blu-ray]"A Ridley Scott Film" ... what more is to be said. Scott has to be ranked up in the top 10 Director's in the last 50 years! Brillant film, excellent masterpiece, riveting performance's by Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Oliver Reed, Djimon Hounsou: (who's making a name for himself in cinema) and applause for the rest of the outstanding cast put together including Richard Harris. This film is an attribute of pure genious, as far as, production, direction, and cinematography. In my own words 'Bravo' ... there's not enough superlatives or accolades that has not been already attributed to this movie. This film is liken the movies of epic perportions of the late 1950's into the early 60's, with it's magnificent cast and colossal action. Especially on the Blu-ray Disc 'Sapphire Series' and it's extended version, as an option. The Blu-ray transfer is the best I have seen to this date with it's rich and vivid color, sound, aspect-ratio. It's as if you were sitting in a theater and much more. It's definetely a keeper for your library with the additional bonus disc loaded with special features. I personally have three copies of this movie, the first release on DVD, the 'Signature Selection' two dvd set and the Blu-ray Disc "Sapphire Series".
