SPARTACUS (HD-DVD)
Ok – here’s an HD DVD title that I wish was overseen by Criterion. The Criterion version of SPARTACUS is a real fan’s edition of this film. You see… there’s no denying that the picture and sound on the HD DVD version is vastly superior. Jaw-droppeningly gorgeous – but where’s the special features? Criterion’s edition is loaded, here… not much of anything. This is aggravating. I think that what we really need to see from the studios in terms of their catalogue titles are tons more special features… in particular the sort of special features that take place during the film, like with CHILDREN OF MEN. Give us behind the scenes, whenever you can. Interviews and recollections that you can access as the film goes on. Have Michael Douglas sit down with his father and talk about Spartacus… giving us Kurt’s photos from the making of the film to pop up as they talk about the film. C’mon… spoil us!
That said, it is the most beautiful transfer I’ve seen thus far on the title.
