I must have missed how awesome the acting was. It was pretty good but I wasn't amazed by anything.

Now that they have fixed this blu, I think I will go out and see if I can find a remasted copy this week and give it a look. I think I am one of the few that held off hoping for an updated version.

Take note too after you open the remastered disk -- here's another clue you have the remaster -- look toward the bottom right on the back of the blu-ray cover (not the sleeve); if it reads TM & copyright 2010 DW Studios L.L.C. you have the corrected copy. DNR'd copy will read 2009

In English:

There TWO different and completely seperate packaging alterations that denote the 4k remastered version:

The original packaging alteration removed the 2-Disc Set from above the Paramount logo on the cover art but the UPC is still white. DO NOT, I SAY AGAIN DO NOT USE THE SLIPCOVER AS THE INDICATOR.

New inventory being sent to retailers will have a yellow UPC. THE COPIES WITH A YELLOW UPC WILL STILL HAVE THE WORDS "2-DISC SET" ABOVE THE PARAMOUNT LOGO

ONCE AGAIN, THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT AND COMPLETELY SEPERATE PACKAGING ALTERATIONS.

If people would just go back a page or 2 and read they would see all of this, I understand the frustration.

I sent it in 2 Saturdays ago and received the replacement today. Looks really good.

I can't be the only one annoyed by his review scores for most movies. Apparantly even "Chloe" is the better movie according to him....

I don't understand why the reviewers here even bother writing reviews for the actual movies. I just want to see if the PQ/AQ is worthy. If I wanted someone's educated opinion on a movie I want to see, I'll go to Rotten Tomatoes.

I completely disagree, Chloe is absolute rubbish. Not only is Gladiator better in all aspects you listed, it's also a much better story, which is kind of important for a good movie. The story for Chloe is ridiculous, unbelievable, and just lame.

bandit29 · 09-04-2010, 01:14 AM

What a difference. The new disc is great. No smudges or disappearing fireballs. Why in the hell was the first version ever approved and released?

Frozenpinky · 09-04-2010, 01:18 AM

The new version looks so great that Russel turned into Mel and became Scottish and says, "...they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!"

peter008 · 09-04-2010, 01:53 AM

Agree 100%

benmsandy · 09-04-2010, 04:39 AM

May be a stupid question - but are the UPC codes different for the different releases?

No.

benmsandy · 09-04-2010, 04:57 AM

Is there anything on the packaging or sleeve that would let me know which version it is?

Hi,

2 questions:

1) What is the region coding on the new version - A (USA) and B (Europe) or just A (USA)?

2) Is the UK getting a remasterd version?

3) Will the remasterd version be on Amazon.com? The current one I believe is still the old one.

Thanks..

steve_dave · 09-04-2010, 06:56 AM

That's three questions, one of which has been answered in the UK subforum.
