      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    With a double assassination now under his belt, James Bond (Craig) is sent about the globe on his first mission as a

    DVD Picture:
    With nicely saturated hues, accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks, the anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD can look superb. Shadow delineation is good, but the image can look slightly too contrasted. In general, fine details are captured well, but there are occasional instances where the finest textures look slightly smeared. Pixilization and compression artifacts are not overly cumbersome, but noticeable at times, and edge enhancement is noticeable throughout. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #100 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I primarily read WSR for unbiased information concerning the future of HD DVD. Articles are written in such a way that the average consumer can understand the technology and benefits of HD DVD. It's nice to be able to read articles from purist videophiles/audiophiles who clearly state their opinion on technologies/products with clear, understandable supporting information. When I read WSR, I have no doubt that the information within is complete and accurate. It's a publication I can TRUST!
