Silverado

"Silverado has been given a treatment on DVD that restores some of the excitement and grandeur of its classic Western roots that was lost on video. So that the image would not be cropped by pan-and-scan, Lawrence Kasdan shot the film full-frame, then matted the image to a 2.35:1 ""scope"" ratio. This technique allowed the film to have an epic widescreen feel in theaters before it was opened up to its full-frame image on video, but caused a few problems on DVD. Initially released in a 1.85:1 ratio, the discs had to be corrected (corrected discs bear the serial number ""04281"") so that the film could be shown in its proper 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen ratio. Silverado has much more impact in a theatrical aspect ratio, the New Mexico landscapes absolutely stunning. Also of note on the disc is an extensive ""making of"" featurette. Running about 45 minutes in length, the documentary has time to go into detail, making it about as valuable as a commentary track for the film. The original theatrical trailer is also included. In its correct widescreen format, Silverado regains some of its original glory on DVD."
