Well, without putting too fine a point on it 100% yes. The
picture quality of Gladiator on Superbit is astounding
and will have you greedily eyeing up the biggest screen you
can possible find in the shops and trying to work out ways
to pay for it.
The image is sharper than a gladius and the colours are rich
and beautifully rendered.
The early scenes in Germania are miserably cold but once
the guys hit warmer climes the colours are so real you can
imagine only needing to reach out to grab hold of a toga or
tunic.
Mind you, the Superbit sound is even better and the damage
this movie could do to an underworked sound system could be
disastrous.
The whoosh of arrows and fireballs against the barbarians
will send shivers up your spine and the Collisseum scenes
explode with the sounds of a screaming crowd and the clash
of metal weapons and slice of blade through flesh.
Ooooooooooo - this may not be for the squeamish.
Gladiator on Superbit is a must for home-theatre owners.
Conclusion: Movie 90%
