Gladiator (2000) - Page 119 - Blu-ray Forum

borninusa · 09-03-2009, 08:04 PM

I am hoping to see another good 20 more pages on this topic. Okay, not really.

I will shut up now for I am contributing to something that should have died a few pages ago.

Ha ha. If you look at all the recalled, reissued discs, it was all the internet and word of mouth up-the-food-chain complaining that did the trick.

My wife is not a blu-ray addict like I am, she said parts looked great and parts didn't.

I think it's pretty obvious it's just an OK transfer.

Sapphire release or not.... I don't think people are going to look at it as much other than a Marketing gimmick (which it is)

Much like the other ones from New line platinum series, collector series, infinifilm, and many more, all just buzz words to get the $, it really draws people into expecting the best, when in reality it could be just a collection of great movies in 'their' series with special artwork.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that many of them will watch this, and Braveheart, and say "Gladiator looked great, but Braveheart looked fuzzy"

I can't comment much on that, since I haven't watched Braveheart yet, but am tonight. It'll be interesting to hear what my wife says as she has no idea what unholy terror that has occurred this past Tuesday.

did Fifth Element and Full Metal Jacket show up on those shows? I must have missed it...

it is all word of mouth through the movie-watching community.

We shall see if anything happens but I suspect very little if anything.

There are certain scenes in Braveheart with a ton of grain. Does your wife complain when y'all watch BD's that have the grain field strongly intact?

She was going on about something, to be honest I wasn't really paying any attention.

The only time she said anything negative about grainy picture - it was when we saw 300 in the theater.

They ruined Braveheart. They turned the grain knob up.
