Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 1.0
Is this Blu-Ray or an upscaled DVD! Thanks for nothing!
Okay, so I bought this BD release of Gladiator. I spent MY money on a supposed BD version. Well, after three and a half hours of sitting comparing the BD to the DVD. I can officially say that the BD looks maybe a hair better than an upscale of the DVD. This is an abomination. Especially, with a film of this calliber. How could you not go frame by frame and want to get the best picture quality out of the original print. This is the type of film you want to see with 1080p and the best picture possible. How dare they market this as a BluRay release. Very sad. We should all sign a petition, send it to Paramount and demand they re-release this film in all of it's splendor. I will be returning this movie. I could have just watched the DVD and picture wise, not have missed much. However, DTS HD MA is beautiful. That is about it though. So very sad. There is nothing saphire about this. I have seen older movies that have been released on BD that look better. As Maximus rose above in this film, we too should rise above this atrocity and demand a re-release correctly done!
