More titanic than any story ever told!
The inspirational true account of mans eternal struggle for freedom. The rebellious Thracian Spartacus, born and raised a slave, is sold to Gladiator trainer Batiatus. After weeks of being trained to kill for the arena, Spartacus turns on his owners and leads the other slaves in rebellion. As the rebels move from town to town, their numbers swell as escaped slaves join their ranks. Under the leadership of Spartacus, they make their way to southern Italy, where they will cross the sea and return to their homes.
Review of Spartacus by Christopher Pattison
Stanley Kubrick is one of HollywoodÔÇÖs most prolific filmmakers of all time. Directing classic films ÔÇÿDr StrangeloveÔÇÖ, ÔÇÿ2001: A Space OdysseyÔÇÖ, ÔÇÿFull Metal JacketÔÇÖ, ÔÇÿThe ShiningÔÇÖ, ÔÇÿA Clockwork OrangeÔÇÖ and ÔÇÿEyes Wide ShutÔÇÖ. One of his most underrated films is 1960ÔÇÖs ÔÇÿSpartacusÔÇÖ starring Kirk Douglas in one of his best performances. ÔÇÿSpartacusÔÇÖ follows our titular hero played by Kirk Douglas, who leads a violent revolution against the decadent Roman Republic. One of KubrickÔÇÖs most underrated films is now available on 4K ultra high definition (UHD) and I could not be happier, so how was ÔÇÿSpartacusÔÇÖ on 4K UHD?
This re-master of ÔÇÿSpartacusÔÇÖ ranks among one of the best 4K UHD remasters to date. The film looks outstanding on 4K, bringing to life one of the best sword and sandal films of all time. KubrickÔÇÖs direction is masterful. He directs an epic and powerful film, different from any other in his filmography. The film is also elevated by the late, great Kirk DouglasÔÇÖs powerful performance as our title character. He is truly phenomenal in the film. The action in the film is also truly amazing. Its epic, large and well-directed. The action sequences also look great in 4K and the updated sound as well adds to the experience.
ÔÇÿSpartacusÔÇÖ are a classic for a reason and this recent 4K UHD restoration looks amazing! This is a must-have for film fans and those looking to complete their Stanley Kubrick collection. I am giving ÔÇÿSpartacusÔÇÖ a 9/10. Pick up your copy on 4K UHD today from local Sanity or Online, you will not regret it!
