Demoledor comentario de Richard Harris. Hay pocos en el mundo que conozcan esta película como Kubrick, y él es uno de ellos.

Para resumir:

"The video noise, inherent in the HD master is gone. That’s a good thing, but keep in mind that it should never have been there to begin with. In removing the noise, all grain is also gone, replaced by what appears to be a pleasant sheen of artificial film grain.

All of the detail captured by Academy Award winning cinematographer Russell Metty’s meticulous large format Technirama camera, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Color Cinematography, is unfortunately also gone.

All high frequency information has been lost, and with it all of the detail in the image.

In its place the newly softened image has been electronically sharpened. We now have a halos. Contrast has been boosted to make the image appear sharper than it is, but this is perceived as opposed to actual sharpness. Fortunately, possibly based upon the new software, we have not gone plastic.

(...)

Here we have an example of great classic cinema. Written, produced, photographed, edited and scored by some of the finest talent in the industry. Spartacus is a huge, epic film about the enduring spirit of mankind and the concept of freedom.

It has been turned, on this Blu-ray, into a sideshow pipsqueak, an ugly and unfortunate bit of home video fodder, which would be far better suited to VHS."

Y ahora que vengan quienes ven las películas en pantallas de 26" a decirme que ese tío (quién se pasó un año codo con codo con Kubrick restaurándola) se equivoca. Lo siento, pero para mi, viniendo de este hombre, esto va a misa.

Iniciado por repopo

Pero repopo, esos problemas (en menor parte, claro) no los tenia ya el DVD restaurado?
