      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith star as Agents K and J in the playfully hip and hilarious science fiction comedy "Men In Black." As partners, their first case is to stop an intergalactic terrorist

    DVD Picture:
    This new anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 Superbit DVD exhibits a very similar and subtly improved picture when compared to the previously released DVDs. Details and definition into backgrounds can appear more defined on the Superbit edition. Colors are bright and well balanced, with natural fleshtones, though blacks, at times, can appear just shy of full depth. Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely rendered throughout. As with the previous DVD, there is a hint of edge enhancement noticed throughout. The same minor flecks of dirt are noticed on both versions. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
