      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Who Killed The Electric Car? The list of suspects is seemingly endless: Consumers. Batteries. Oil Companies. Car Companies. Government. CARB (California Air Resources Board). Hydrogen. Or was it a combination of these suspects? Or perhaps a conspiracy? From this viewer

    DVD Picture:
    As a combination of many different sources, the anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD shifts in picture quality from scene to scene. Interviews and original footage are captured well, with good resolution and fairly well-balanced colors. Edge enhancement is noticeable throughout but is not overly distracting. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #119 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it keeps me up-to-date on the newest technology and gives insightful information regarding brands and types of product. I don't think I would feel comfortable making purchasing decisions without consulting Widescreen Review!
