Terrence Malick's return to filmmaking after a two decades long layoff, The Thin Red Line comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. It would be a waste of time to watch any of Malick's films without a widescreen image. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include music from the movie. The lack of extras is a let down due to the historic aspects of the film production and content, but this is a solid release from 20th Century Fox as it is.
