Butcher’s Crossing comes to Blu-ray presented with a 2.00 widescreen aspect ratio and displays the 1800s west quite well with a push toward natural colors while skin tones also look balanced. Detail also was impressively sharp though being a new movie, this should be a given.

The disc comes with a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track outputting clear dialogue through the center channel and remarkable depth whether in the Old West town or in the wilderness.
