WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:
Robert Redford

DVD Picture:
Originally released on DVD in 1999 (reviewed in Issue 38), A River Runs Through It looks much better on this new anamorphically enhanced DVD. Details are cleaner and more precise, although some minor smearing is evident at times. Colors are fully saturated and naturally rendered, with deep blacks. Pixelization is occasional, as are minor edge halos. Although the picture looks much better than the previously released DVD, by today

Soundtrack:
The Dolby

Reason #40 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

I love your magazine and am a subscriber! In order of priority, I read Widescreen in order to: 1) Read about home theatre equipment technology that is on the cutting edge. To see where the industry is going, so that I can make informed buying decisions. As an example, when I saw that the DVD Forum Adopts HD-DVD Format (Feb 04), so(delete) I canceled my plans to buy a recordable DVD player, as I can see High Def DVD players are just around the corner. For the same reason, I am also limiting my purchase of movies on regular DVD as well. 2) Read DVD movie reviews, so that I can see whether a DVD is worth buying or not. If a movie receives poor Widescreen ratings on Picture and/or Sound, I probably will not buy the DVD. Rounders is one of my favorite movies, but I refuse to purchase it based on your poor ratings. 3) Home theatre configuration advice. Thanks and keep up the great work.
