      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The 1914 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, under the leadership of polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, was advertised by him as a trip promising constant danger and a doubtful safe return. Five thousand men responded to his ad, and he chose 27 of them to join him on an expedition to cross the Antarctic continent for the first time. Only one day

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits image quality that is acceptable for a documentary. Interviews are a bit soft, lacking finer details, but colors are well balanced and generally natural. Color footage of frozen seas and icy landscapes are peppered with shaky, artifact-ridden stock footage and black-and-white photos of the men who set out on Shackleton

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #15 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    This is THE magazine that presents all that I need to have to evaluate and buy equipment, know what’s up in the industry, and which provides a listing of DVD reviews and release schedules. In short, it is an almanac for reference, opinion, and knowledge. I must say that I have read just about every magazine that deals with home theatre that has been published. Widescreen is more professional, more comprehensive, and more up-to-date than the rest. I have read the rest, but I am staying with the best.
