    After being challenged to making a journey "Around The World In Eighty Days," Phileas Fogg (Niven) wagered

    DVD Picture:
    Shot twice(!) in 65mm, once at 30 frames per second and again at 24 frames per second, and also reduction printed to 35mm in both speeds, this transfer, according to sources at Warner Bros., has been assembled -- and digitally cleaned up -- from a variety of elements. The anamorphically enhanced 2.20:1 DVD picture, which is appearing on a home video format in the original widescreen format for the first time, looks great, especially considering the film

    Soundtrack:
    The remastered Dolby

    Reason #95 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    This magazine provides the most detailed and informative reviews that I have had the pleasure to read. You go much further than other magazines (Home Theater, Perfect Vision) and at the same time make it enjoyable. I read Widescreen Review every month and look forward to the most recent reviews of the hottest products around!
