The slave Spartacus leads a violent revolt against the
decadent Roman empire.

Notes

This is hardly the best catalog release seen on HD DVD, but
the print is certainly in good shape for a film this old.
There are no major defects. However, there is some dirt
present and grain can be heavy. More distracting is
a near-constant wavering of contrast and colors; the image
just never appears stable. Sharpness is also lacking.
The transfer also appears to suffer from what looks like
analog artifacts, particularly edge enhancement. The image
certainly looks artificial at best, and is not However, on
the plus side color saturation is strong and consistent, and
fleshtones a nice shade of orange. No, 'Spartacus' does not
look absolutely 	terrible, but it doesn't look particularly
great, either.

We advise other groups not to use the Sonic filters for
re-encoding the audio, since they seem to be incorrectly
applying DRC.

We recommend the Nero filters instead. Although hopefully
this is all made moot with native e-ac3 support soon.
