A very good classic movie I actually loved it.....

this is a great classic movie. one of my favorites

This Spartacus remastered and restored version, in a steel book exclusive to Best Buy no less for those into collecting such things, is a spectacular example of the potential that 4K video offers to the home viewing experience. While it still cannot rival seeing it in a large screen theater, as I was fortunate enough to do a few years back at the Seattle Cinerama, it is nonetheless incredibly impressive on my Sony Z9D 65 inch set. Add the robust surround sound, and sit back and enjoy this classic looking probably as good or better than it did in 1960.

It's easy to see why Spartacus is so influential and considered "genre-defining" - it's as grandiose and melodramatic as one could expect an event film of yesteryear can be. It's also the least Kubrickian of Kubrick's works I've so far enjoyed; one can spot his visual signature in certain set designs and shot compositions, otherwise it plays far more like the work of Cecil B. DeMille than the director of Dr. Strangelove or 2001. The restoration, without hyperbole, is PRISTINE.

This has been one of my most anticipated titles in 4K since the format was launched, and Universal certainly exceeded my expectations! While the semi-recent remastered Blu-Ray was definitely a step up from the much maligned initial release, there was still room for improvement, and we finally have it! The image is crisp and vibrant, with a very apparent increase in resolution and image quality, thanks to the Super Technirama 70mm source. Audio excels as well, sounding rich and robust on a home theatre system. Highly recommended!!

And this is the way to see this classic made back in an age when epic films were made for real and not on a studio computer. Kirk Douglas is in the role that cemented him as a Hollywood star plays in the title role As a slave turned gladiator, turned freedom fighter. Kubrick film comes To life even more in this remastered edition which is best version yet. Features include a new interview with Douglas and a featurette on the Remastering process and original trailer.

Excellent choreography- a must see!It was a delightful and inspirational movie. I wood recommend this movie!

This is one of the best of the "biblical epics" from the era of the late 1950's through the mid 1960's. There's a lot of history involved with this film: from it's producer and lead actor Kirk Douglas passing away in 2020 to the fact that he clashed creatively with director Stanley Kubrick. It was a thrill to see that Spartacus got the "4k" treatment in 2020. The picture looked beautiful and the sound (dialogue, music and effects) are first rate!

Kudos to the restoration team at Universal for getting this right! They seem to be knocking their catalogue releases out of the park lately. It looks and sounds fabulous - probably better than ever before, even on it's original release date (not that I would know...born in 1970.) You are getting the full version of the movie too, not the edited and watered down version(s) available for decades. Super Technirama was meant for 4K UHD!

This film is a definite classic. A great story. And beautiful cinematography.

This is the version of this movie to own. The audio and video pop! The color and detail of the costumes and jewelry really stand out. I'm becoming a really big fan of 4K and a big production like this epic showcase what 4K is all about on a large screen-I have a 65" LG OLED that has a gorgeous picture (sound is so-so but I run it thru the pre-amp via a fibre-optic cable anyway).

Spartacus is a gladiator-like 3 hour epic directed by Stanley Kubrick that Kirk Douglas was famously known for. This new 4K restoration looks refreshing. It's as if I am watching an entire new movie for the first time. The clarity is amazing and I love the steelbook design that was made for the 4K. It's a long, but rewarding movie that's worth every 4K frame. I highly recommend it.

A classic available now in a beautifully designed case set. Recommended!

The 4k disc release of Spartacus breathes new life into a 60 year old film. It’s a rather stunning image to see; mesmerizing at times. The sound design is also quite capable, holding up well for a film of its time. The music is very dynamic and powerful in its range. The steelbook design is nice looking, although I prefer the design of the red steelbook blu-ray release. Highly recommended!

Wow what a difference a decade makes since criterion’s release of this definitive version of the Kubrick classic. And hats off to the guys in the Remastering dept. the visual / audio cleanup of the film is astonishing. Like watching it for the first time. And it’s also great to see Hollywood’s last great golden age actor Kirk Douglas in an included interviewed.
