Entertaining masterpiece
The content is first class , what else would you expect from a top produced group of brothers like the BeeGees. This Blue Ray disk was created perhaps for people who do not have the standard DVD as quality this is all it can deliver due of course to the period when this was first recorded . I have the standard format version of it and this is fed via a top spec player to a prescaler before it's goes to the projector so in fact my standard version has the edge on this Blue Ray , but do not let that detract you if you don,t have a copy of this performance. Most pop recordings were often shot on video equipment at the time unlike earlier 70's etc which were often on 16 mm for TV format. So very dependent on how good they were at the time and most at distance shots, pretty poor compared to modern HD standards . But as it is the BeeGees you can forgive it and just enjoy the performance.

Problems with some films placed to blue ray
1 of 2 found this helpful I really cannot understand at times why some old films which finally are offered on to Blue Ray ( high definition) are anything but not HD in fact. If today you purchased a new release you would expect it to be high quality and this seems to be the case, though some have a little noise present in the dark scenes but that aside you have got what you have paid for. But with films that were produced years ago the result is often a lottery, some first class others were better produced in standard DVD , so the question needs to be asked "why" . I purchased a Blue Ray version of Zulu, i bought the standard DVD years ago and it is not bad, so when the chance to upgrade to HD was presented to me I purchased it. When I checked it out I thought I was sold a pirate it was ## the worse copy I have seen. I guess if you are viewing it on a 20 inch monitor you might get away with it, but I doubt it, but to present it on a large screen forget it so what are these people doing. Take into account it would have been shot on 35 mm though film does loose its edge over time if not stored correctly, but I feel some producers are doing the old trick where in the past a film was on video then upgraded to DVD by using the same master presented originally just for video bandwidth so what you end up with is a DVD copy of a video.
It looks like they have a DVD copy played with the high frequency retouched while transferring it to Blue Ray, if that's the case they will soon be out of business , nobody is that daft to except this, already there are comments about this film because of this , let's hope we do not get anymore of these released to the public and we can look forward to seeing old releases as they were in the theatre in our homes. Just because a old film seems to be cheaper to purchase , I feel we would be happy to pay extra to get what we expect.

It all started here
1 of 1 found this helpful Spartacus the true Roman epic , never beaten . I always worry when I purchase blue rays of old films as often the quality does not meet expectations , this on the other hand does, its perfect, the image is first class, with good colour scale and the sound is as it should be , fitting to the original engineers work. The film has been shown many times on television , but when I watch it in my cinema , you understand that's really how it should be presented, ok not everyone can see it that way, but if it looks good on a 15 foot screen, it will look great on anything. You may have a standard DVD of the film, well you know the story , now watch it for real and get it , you will not be disappointed . 5 stars .
