      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    It

    DVD Picture:
    Viewing in a completely blackened room is recommended due to the extremely dark opening sequence and the many dark scenes throughout. The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD is perfectly capable of delivering these visuals with pleasing shadow delineation and contrast. Sharpness and detail is quite satisfying overall. Colors are nicely saturated considering the dim nature of the movie, with satisfying fleshtones and generally deep, bluish blacks. There is quite a bit of foggy grays, and hues can appear somewhat hazy at times, but for apparently thematic reasons. Occasionally, objects appear a bit edgy, and minor pixelization is evident.

    Reason #45 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR because I enjoy configuring my home entertainment system myself. I don't have enough disposable income to buy all new components and hire an installer to set it all up. So, I have relied on WSR to guide me in almost all aspects of the (continual) upgrade process. I have always stayed glued to the reviews so that I can choose where my dollar is going to affect the greatest impact in my system. When you have a tight budget to work with, even the smallest purchase decisions make a difference.
