A solid DVD treatment serves to lift this mountaineering adventure from the realm of the ordinary. The picture is a stunning widescreen transfer, presented in its 1.85:1 aspect ratio. It is crystal clear and worthy of a postcard, highlighting the awe-inspiring mountain that makes up the film's set piece. Sound is in Dolby Digital 5.1 and gets well used during some of the headier action scenes. Viewers will especially enjoy the mountain of extras, including an information-laden commentary from director Martin Campbell and producer Lloyd Phillips. Also on the disc is a documentary on the making of the film, with plenty of behind-the-scenes footage and a section called "Search and Rescue Tales." This title is somewhat misleading, since viewers get a slew of mini-featurettes about the making of the film instead of real-life mountaineering stories. Still, they're very interesting and give a good look at the making of Vertical Limit. Of course, there are also the requisite trailers and bios here as well. Regardless of what one may think of the film itself, the DVD ofVertical Limit is well worth checking out.
