WSR Narrative Review |
|
Story Synopsis:
This bio-epic saga sprawls Wyatt Earp’s (Costner) lifetime, in which one becomes familiar with most events of his life—his brothers, wives, jobs and places he lived—signifying a complete portrait of the man. The film magnificently recaptures the western frontier past.
LaserDisc Picture:
The Panavision® picture is framed at 2.38:1 and is overall stunning with several spectacular scenes of the western frontier. Interior scenes have been filtered to create an effect but color is excellent for a natural imagery. Some artifacts are visible but otherwise the picture transfer is gorgeous.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is effective with a wonderfully sweeping full orchestra score by James Newton Howard recorded by master mixer Shawn Murphy and an enveloping ag-gressive surround with effectively delivered Foley and sound effects.
