      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In the small town of Antioch, miracles are happening all around. And following these miracles is The Visitation of a mysterious stranger. While some see him as a visionary prophet, others see him as a dangerous fraud with an evil agenda. Is he the messiah, or a murderer? Only time will tell as the dark secrets are revealed. Based on the novel by Frank Peretti. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits pleasing image quality, with a stylized color scheme that is often awash in cold, sickening greenish blues that are complementary to the storytelling. Other times, the picture can be nicely balanced and well-saturated. Images are generally sharp, but finer detils and textures can be lacking. Minor pixelization is evident, but there are no excessive edge halos. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #110 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review, because of all the A/V magazines I read, I trust the writers of Widescreen Review to give the most thorough review and honest opinion of any equipment being reviewed. I count on Widescreen Review to keep me informed on any and all new information in the world of home theatre more than any other source. I also base many of my DVD purchases on the review of the picture and sound of a particular DVD. I always look forward to finding Widescreen Review in my mailbox!
