      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After being raised by a loving, but oft-absent, uncle (McGregor), Alex Rider

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.32:1 DVD exhibits bold, vibrant colors and well-captured details to create a good picture. Fleshtones are well rendered, as is shadow delineation. Contrast is balanced nicely, and while edge enhancement is noticeable, it is not overly distracting. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #6 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for a couple of reasons. First, I work in the electronics industry, and it is essential to have great demo material when presenting a product. It would be impossible to buy every DVD out there to find out what looks and sounds good in the DVD world. Second, electronics is my passion. I am constantly looking for any new information on software and hardware. WSR is a great source of information on both hardware and software.
