This review is from: Gladiator [Remastered] [Blu-ray][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
Unreserved five stars for PQ on the remastered edition (the AQ was always excellent).
Now what you really want to know: how can you be sure you’re getting the new edition, and not the shoddy first release? As of 9 September, NBC Universal UK have confirmed three things:
1. They have started shipping the new edition to retailers, but it’s up to retailers as to when they sell it. 2. The new edition has a “Pocket-Blu” logo on the back, comprising the pocket BLU symbol and the words “pocket BLU”; this is the sole distinguishing mark. If it’s there, you have the new edition; if not, the old. 3. The combined Robin Hood/Gladiator release includes the new edition of Gladiator.
Happy hunting!

Despite the lack of the “Pocket-Blu” logo on the back of the new Augmented Reality packaging which previously comprised of the pocket BLU symbol and the words “pocket BLU” – I can confirm that this is the remastered edition.
For your Information the reference number printed on disc 1 is 28647.1/ST/G51/R1.
The Augmented Reality refers to the cover only and you need to download an app from Universal Pictures to view it.

This review is from: Gladiator [Remastered] [Blu-ray][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
Gladiator is a classic film, and this Blu Ray release brings it to life like never been seen before. I own the DVD of the original and extended editions, and I was shocked at the quality of the image and sound that Blu Ray gives. Some of the scenes looked surprisingly different because of the extra clarity, and the difference is breathtaking. I particularly like that this product includes the extended edition of the film in full HD, and these extra scenes just fill in a few gaps that were present in the cinema release. I was originally sceptical about the improvement that Blu Ray could give over traditional DVDs, but after seeing Gladiator I am converted. Absolutely stunning.
