Kevin Costner's 2003 Western Open Range comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1. Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Costner. He talks about his theories as a director, his affection for the Western genre (a type of movie that, with this film, he proves he has absorbed), and many tales about the film's production. His commentary is as earnest and heartfelt as the film itself. A second DVD is full of information on the making of the film, allowing the viewer access to almost every aspect of the process. This is a strong disc from Disney/Buena Vista that will be of particular interest to any genre enthusiast.

Factual Action

Action packed shootem up movie with great soundtrack and beautiful scenery. Kevin Costner at his best and selecting Robert Duvall getting top billing and loads of other actors including Annette Benning. This movie should be in blu-ray soon. The gun actions are so real and the story line is of a history of how events turned out with free grazing of cattle in the 1870's onward. I love this movie and have watched it with people gathered around at least 3 times. Costner adds his story behind the the movie and how he selected who would be in it and where they were on location to film the movie. It is like watching a piece of American West. I think it is up there with Dances with Wolves. The movie does get your attention. There is some funny parts in it and the movie does have an ending viewers will like.
What's great about it: What free grazing started was range wars. This movie tells somewhat of western history of range wars of which some stood
What's not so great: It's not in Blu-Ray
I would recommend this to a friend!
