Gladiator Sep 03, 2010 The remastered Blu-ray version (Yellow UPC Code) is stunning, and the movie itself is very good.
As I indicated in the previous sentence the remastered version is identified by a YELLOW UPC Code on the back of the case, and "2-Disc Set" above the Paramount Logo on the bottom right of the back of the case.
I still have the original Blu-ray version of Gladiator and have decided to keep it just in case it might become a collector's item despite the poor transfer. At least I can compare it to those interested the difference between the two versions in case they want to purchase the Blu-ray.
NOTE: Another indication of the remastered version is a normal WHITE UPC Code on the back of the case, with the "2-Disc Set" REMOVED above the Paramount Logo.

5 Stars for the movie are the exchange program Aug 30, 2010 I broke down and purchased this blu-ray taking a chance as to the quality of the disc. I have to keep in mind that this is a first generation blu-ray disc and that all videos are not created equal. Some videos are simply Standard DVD transfers with nothing done while others are given the royal treatment before being released. One example of a standard transfer may be Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves while one example of a movie that gets the royal treatment may by Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Gladiator does seem to fall in between this as there was no WOW effect after watching the movie nor was there a let down either. I have a 32" Sharp Aquaos 1080i with a Sony Blu-ray player hooked up to an Onkyo HTS-6200 Receiver via HDMI. So this would vary according to your setup.
While I read a lot about the exchange program I was skeptical about taking the chance. However, I read The Digital Bits website and [...] web site and decided to take the chance. Contacting Paramount I got hold of one of the nicest customer service reps I've ever talked to in a while. She was patient with me as it was not easy to verify what they were asking for. Paramount if you read this I sent you the wrong disc and I will be happy to send you the right one. SO please contact me.
So in about 3 weeks I received my corrected disc with the "R2" on the play side and I rushed it ahead of my other disc and I definitely had the WOW effect. I say if you have any questions just call Paramount and they will be glad to help you. I'm glad I did.
I just wish the studios are companies that have the rights to release a movie won't rush it to market just to make a sale. As a film enthusiast between SD-DVD and BD-DVD I would prefer the best picture possible along with the best audio possible (Dolby Digital 5.1 / True Dolby / HTS Master audio). We consumers can wait and may be able to pay a little more (Gone With The Wind 70th Anniversary blu-ray collector's edition for example) if the film is released the best way it can be without us having to double are triple did some time in the future.
I'm not sure if this belonged in the review section are a forum; but, I just wanted to share my experience.
awesome Aug 29, 2010 One of the best movies ever. The blueray is expensive though, this is a classic movie they should make it cheaper.
It is very violent for a drama so be forewarned about that.

Remastered Copy Aug 27, 2010 Whoever is getting there copies now and in the next few weeks please let us all know if you are getting the remastered copy. It is already available locally at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc. You can tell a couple ways other than having to watch it and seeing the superior video compared to the original that came about a year ago. There should either be a yellow UPC code or if you look in the bottom right above the Parmaount symbol on the case there should be nothing listed. On the old copy it will say 2 disc set.
Extremly Poor Quality Transfer Aug 27, 2010 This Review is for the Blu-Ray Quality Transfer: I would imagine the guy responsable for the quality control on this project no longer has a job . Trust me out of my 400 Blu-Ray Titles I have bought this is running at 2nd from the bottom,I love this movie but I could not bear to watch it on my 20K HT ,was like watching TV with bad reception. Exstremly disapointing
