      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 #114 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I appreciate the technical nature of your DVD reviews; that is, the way you rate the sound and picture quality of newly released DVDs. The reviews in most other magazines are concerned not with how good the DVD is, but with just the film itself: quality of the script, actors' performances, etc., all of which are subject to the critic's personal tastes, which may be wildly different from my own.
