Mel Gibson's Braveheart, one of the initial releases in Paramount's Sapphire series, is a Blu-ray that even the most demanding home theater fanatic would desire, and everything that Gladiator on Blu-ray should and could have been.
Braveheart, based upon the book by Randall Wallace, and visually told through the brilliant cinematography of John Toll, is extraordinary filmmaking. Beginning slowly, with a 16 minute prologue, the film doesn't really come into its own until past the 30 minute mark. Everything that sets up the story is necessary, and the deliberate pacing only strengthens what follows.
The message here is all extremely positive.
Braveheart was the winner of five Academy Awards inclusive of Best Picture. As a Blu-ray, it has a perfectly honed image, and audio presented in Dolby TrueHD. It is a Blu-ray experience of undeniable perfection.
This disc belongs in every serious cinema library.
Extremely Highly Recommended.
