An Oscar winning delight in a steelbook
This steelbook of Gladiator is as good as you can currently get.
Perhaps the first two reviewers would prefer the old release of Gladiator on blu ray where so many people complained about the Digital Noise Reduction and Edge Enhancement that this remastered blu ray was produced. Perhaps they would prefer the DVD.
Gladiator was shot on 35mm film. Film has grain. I much prefer to see the film grain than to view something that has been excessively processed and treated, but some people would prefer all blu rays to look like they were shot on digital HD cameras. And some people like to find fault with everything.
Just look at the amazon reviews for the 'regular' Gladiator blu ray and you'll see what I mean.
This steelbook rates as 5 stars. You get a two blu ray set of Gladiator, including the Theatrical version, the Extended version and a disc full of special features. All this in a very nice steelbook package, that at the time of writing is...
The Fixed Blu-Ray Version
Look elsewhere for a review of the Gladiator film.
This Steelbook version contains a theatrical and extend version of the film. For those who care, this does contain the "fixed" version of the blu-ray. IE: the one that looks pretty.
The steelbook case is nothing overtly special, but it is fairly cool for those interested. I purchased this version because it was it contained the right version of the film along with being considerably lower in cost. The case was a nice bonus.
Steelbook is good edition
This is not the best bluray transfer of an older movie that I've seen but it is in no way so flawed that its not worth it or enjoyable. Nothing about it was jarring or wrong, it just wasn't as crystal as some (such as Braveheart) The ability to watch either the theatrical or extended additions is great, and I loved all of the special features and that came with it.
