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

Reason #126 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

I read Widescreen Review to determine which products are worth spending my hard-earned money on. With all of the constant changes in the world of home entertainment, one needs a source of information and insight on what works and what doesn't. Having a home theatre, I don't want to go out and buy the latest gimmick. I want parts that will be good now and still be good later on down the line. Widescreen Review lets me know which equipment from the sea of electronics fits my needs! I recommend it to all who want unbiased opinions on what works and what doesn't!
