Quo Vadis
J**S
From the last century comes a spectacle born two thousand years ago.
"Quo Vadis", a 1951-released, 167-minute motion picture, employing a cast of 30,000 was an MGM stunner.Here, almost a century later, it displays life as it was nearly 2,000 years ago. And yes, it is Hollywood drama, portrayed by producer Sam Zimbalist and scored by Miklos Rozsa, the sound and fury of the best on the setleft me hoping, "so, if I wait a couple of months before I go back to view this again, I'll be left tattered and exhausted." Ah. And thrilled beyond measure? YES!!! Thanks, Amazon. You did it again.

Well worth the watch!
As modern movies become more PC and woke, and therefore bland, unrealistic and disappointing, I look to the older movies to entertain me. This is a great movie depicting the early Christians, as well as the morbid punishments and tortures the Romans put them through (mind you, the cameras look away before it gets too gruesome, as censors demanded back then.). It's a good religious as well as drama, with a little action thrown in.

One Disc! One Side!
This is, of course, a great movie, taking place in the reign of Nero.It is even better on one side of one disc -- and replacing my DVD version (two discs) with this BD provided this benefit.I noticed a reviewer attacking it for not being 4K. Frankly, this sort of thing reminds me of an individual who claimed that the PJ /Fellowship of the Ring/ on DVD was inferior because he could only magnify it 10 times before it started going fuzzy. An odd criterion for judging a DVD.So, if you are a 4K-fanatic, don't buy this; just hold your breath till your face turns blue, go without, and wait for it to come out on 4K.But, if you like /really good movies/, this one should do you. Well, unless you are allergic to religious references, because it is packed full of (Nero, after all, was famous for feeding Christians to lions). Anti-religious fanatics beware!

Another Christin classic from the 50’s
Great movie and the Blu Ray versión have a great quality picture. Too bad they did not work to improve the audio that remains a 1.0

Good Redemption Story - Old 'fashioned' movie making
Entertaining. Good Redemption story. Good story on how we do not see ourselves and the tunnel vision we have - hopefully you think about opening your eyes to the many wrong things our country is doing and how we go along with it - just to 'get' ahead. This is a story of a man who finally realizes and gives up all to take the right path.

A good movie with a story and history.
This is a MUST TO SEE film if you are interested in a history of Rome, Christianity and humanity in general.Even though it is based on a novel, written by a Noble prize winner Henryk Sienkiewicz, I highly recommend this movie to anyone. Enjoy watching it and have a good conversation with you family/friends when you are done.

A Great Film
This film should remind people what the early Christians went threw. The cast was great the plot excellent Especially Deborah Kara she almost acted like she was there.

Gran película semi histórica sobre los comienzos del cristianismo.
Muy buena película sobre los comienzos del Cristianismo. Aunque como película sd aparta un poco de la historia científica, muestra los problemas que tuvo el cristianismo para desarrollarse dentro del imperio romano.
