      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    It

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits a sharp and detailed image, with satisfying textures and definition throughout. Colors are well balanced, with nicely balanced fleshtones and deep blacks. At times the picture can have an undersaturated appearance. Minor smearing is noticed, and occasional edge enhancement is apparent in the higher contrast scenes. Pixelization is limited, as the picture is mostly smooth and clean. This is a great science fiction battle with a very satisfying picture. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #32 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review as a way to dream. I think about the day I make it in life and how I will own only top of the line products featured in your magazine. I think about the parties and social functions at my house and how the centerpiece will be my entertainment system. Though at my current economic standing, it will take me years to be able to afford all the products I want without getting into credit debt, I still see no harm in reading about what will be mine.
