It was Tom, then as head of Universal, who was singularly responsible, from a corporate perspective, for moving the reconstruction of Spartacus forward.
Completed as a 4k DI, the film is a positive viewing experience, with an extremely strong Dolby Atmos track. Dolby Vision is available for those with panels so equipped. HDR for projection.
As a film, it’s a mixed bag. I’m in disagreement with Sarabeth Pollock, of Cultress, which proclaims the film to be “A new classic.”
I though it was fun, and filled with nostalgia. Some terrific actors, who have done better work. Young Mckenna Grace is terrific.
I went into this without expectations, and exited, having smiled several times.
Image – 5 (Dolby Vision)
Audio – 5 (Dolby Atmos)
Pass / Fail – Pass
Plays nicely with projectors – Yes
Makes use of and works well in 4k – 5
