      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In "Star Trek Nemesis," the 10th film in the "Star Trek" series, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Stewart) and the Enterprise crew find themselves on a diplomatic mission to initiate peace with the Romulans. Learning that the Romulans have undergone a political upheaval and their new leader, a Praetor, wants to discuss a peace treaty with the Federation, Picard and his crew must investigate the situation and determine their sincerity. But Picard and crew learn that not only is the new Praetor not a Romulan at all, they also find that he is a human replica of Picard, originally bio-engineered by the Romulans to be substituted for the captain as a weapon against the Federation. Now, Picard and his crew must determine if the Romulans truly desire a peace treaty, or if they have other plans in mind.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that will not disappoint Trekkers. Images are nicely detailed and sharp, with excellent contrast and shadow delineation for this often-dark picture. The color palette is rich, with bold blues and reds, accurate fleshtones, and endless blacks. The computer generated images are incredibly detailed. There are a few flecks of dirt noticed in the source element, but otherwise the picture is clean and solid. Edge enhancement is apparent on occasion, but pixelization is rarely a problem. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby Digital 5.1-channel soundtrack, in the tradition of the past several Star Trek movies, has been very well-produced, with downright effective spatial engagement throughout. The music score from Jerry Goldsmith is a superb recording, sounding smooth and very well-integrated into the overall sound mix. There

    Reason #49 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Reading Widescreen Review for the past four years has been a liberating experience for me. Issue after issue you continue to write the most intelligent, full depth, and logical reviews and you do not pull any punches. I've bought many of my home theatre items after reading about them in WSR, and I must say they perform exactly as you have written in your reviews. I'll be a customer for a long, long time. Thanks for a great magazine.
