Lonesome Dove in widescreen Nov 05, 2009 The widescreen, remastered, 5.1 version is terrific. Over the years I have owned the VHS, 4:3 DVD, and now the 16:9 DVD with 5.1 surround sound. This last version is like seeing it for the first time and the special features make you want to see it again. This is the greatest Western of all time, now presented as it should be, in movie quality. The book is even better.

lonesome dove Oct 16, 2009 The revisiting of a long lost era of western movement by people with a passion at any cost
Lonesome Dove Oct 09, 2009 Easy to see why this is called by many "the greatest Western ever made". It sure gets my vote.
A fine western Oct 01, 2009 Enjoyed the movie. The picture quality was very good and quite pleasant to watch even though knowing there was a crop from the original version to make it wide screen. The picture clairty more than made up for the crop and I doubt if one could argue that it made a substantial difference as far as cinematic impact was concerned. I've seen both and most certainly prefer the blu-ray widescreen to the original format.
Although the audio was ok, I thought it could have been better, if so, I would have rated this movie 5 stars. The sound seemed shrill at times and a bit indistinct in certain areas with the background too much in front.
All the actors did a fine job. Duvall is such a believable charcter that seems so authentic for the time period portrayed. I cannot imagine any other actor topping Duvalls performance for his role. Tommy lee Jones was quite impressive as well.
