VHS Movie Reviews of Lonesome Dove Box Set - Parts I-IV
Movie Review: cropped
Summary: 1 Stars
In the opening scene, Woodrow Call sits gazing across the river. In the 2002 DVD, several inches of early morning light are visible between the top of his hat and the top of the screen. In this new DVD, several inches of the top of his hat are not visible.Movie Review: Bud Wright
Summary: 5 Stars
I believe I have some insight into this whole aspect ratio controversy. For many years, filmmakers filmed movies in something called "Super 35." The final, unedited and uncropped raw footage looks something like the old Chevrolet symbol, in that each scene was framed in both widescreen AND fullscreen ratios. The widescreen crop, of course, was released to theaters, but the fullscreen crop was released for home video consunption. I believe this to be the case with "Lonesome Dove," as I have compared both the 2002 and 2008 versions, and information is both gained and lost in both incarnations, depending on the crop. It is no longer necessary to practice this hybrid process because of the proliferation of 16:9 TVs, so "Super 35" has virtually vanished. However, this new version of LD is FAR superior to the first release, because of the stunningly clean, richly textured and colored, widescreen picture and the much improved sound. It's even more jaw-dropping than it's original edition - which is saying something. Throw in the letter-perfect performances by all(but ESPECIALLY so by Duvall and Jones)and you have an unqualified masterpiece. Do yourself a favor and check out the greatest western of all time, and one of the top 2 or 3 films ever made. Trust me, you will not be disappointed! Movie Review: Let's get right to the point.
Summary: 5 Stars
The story on this new release isn't the story itself. Rather, it's the comically long-overdue digital remastering of this cinematic tour de force, and while admittedly imperfect, the stunning improvement from one edition to the next. So I'm not going to quibble about aspect ratios; if you love this movie as much as most do, this is a release you must pick up, despite a few technical quirks the large majority of viewers will never notice. And if the process did this much for the standard-release DVD, I'll be anxious to see the Blu-ray version...Movie Review: Lonesome Dove
Summary: 5 Stars
Lonesome Dove never looked or sounded so good as in the newly remastered release. The best western ever is also the best thing ever made for TV, and it finally has the true widescreen picture and 5.1 stereo sound it has always deserved.Movie Review: cropped but still worth the money
Summary: 5 Stars
the picture and sound quality are much better than its predecessor but i still wish they had actually shot it in ws format that would be magical.
At $13 its a no brainer, its the price of a car wash for f sake.
