      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    James Cameron and a team of explorers go under the North Atlantic Sea in bubble-looking submersibles to search for "Aliens Of The Deep" dark ocean floor. Discovering all sorts of strange and beautiful creatures, it's easy for the travelers to imagine what life on other planets may be like. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits image quality that is suitable for the subject matter. While the picture can appear somewhat soft at times, details are adequate throughout. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, bold blues beneath the water

    Soundtrack:
    Dialogue and narration shows very good articulation, and solid dynamics in effects (often relegated to the front three screen channels) make this an enjoyable 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.
