      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    No other film on the topic can rival the epic spectacle and breathtaking grandeur of James Cameron

    DVD Picture:
    Finally! A new anamorphic transfer sets sail after a less-than-optimal non-anamorphic transfer released in 1999 (reviewed in Issue 34). This new anamorphically enhanced 2.30:1 DVD picture is just what fans have been waiting for. The picture is impressively sharp and detailed, with excellent textures and definition. The color palette is perfectly balanced, with a subtle warm wash over the voyage in contrast to the present-day scenes with the wreckage exploration crew. Contrast and shadow delineation are superb throughout. There are rarely any distractions, if a few slightly

    Reason #81 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I saw my first issue in a newsstand two years ago. The movie reviews caught my attention right away. They were extremely thorough with their inclusion of such items as release dates, aspect ratios, and list of main creators like cinematographer, director, and writers. The breakdown of the critic's composite score is very telling and useful. Equipment reviews are extremely comprehensive and tend to cover a greater range of brands than most publications. One Installer's Opinion is a gem. I've been a subscriber for over a year now and have two of your special publications, both of which are first rate. You seem to be a couple of months ahead of your rival publications with reviews, and new equipment announcements are testament to the quality and dedication of your staff. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next issue as always.
