WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:
After their fire goes out and they lose their source of heat, Naoh (Mcgill), Amoukar (Perlman) and Gaw (Ell-Kadi) of the Ulam tribe go on a "Quest For Fire." They come across the Ivakas, a group that has discovered the mystery of fire and how to create it. The Ulam clan kidnaps Ika (Chong) from the Ivakas in hopes that she will reveal the secret of starting fire. Ika teaches the peaceful tribe what they want to know but learns something more important from them, as the tribe she was taken from was one that enjoyed the wonders of cannibalism and other carnivorous delights. (Tricia Littrell)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that can be soft at times, though the different tribes

Soundtrack:
The remastered Dolby

Reason #26 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

Before WSR, there was a 4:3 picture tube. After WSR, there is a nice 65 inch widescreen rear projection TV. However, it's only a beginning, because WSR started a dream. The reality looks crisper and clearer now, even the sound is more precise and enveloping. Widescreen Review: P5/S5, one's critic�s composite: 5. Thank you, WSR. Keep up the excellent work!
