      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    I

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits bold, vibrant colors and well-balanced fleshtones, with deep blacks and good, although not great, shadow delineation. Details are captured well, but edge enhancement and pixilation can become distracting. The high-definition versions look very good, with intense hues and sharp details. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #104 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I trust it, and more importantly it is a trust, which has been earned. Reading Widescreen Review is still the best way for me to keep abreast of new products and emerging technologies, and it has heightened my senses and enhanced my appreciation of my own home theatre. Thanks to Widescreen Review, I have been able to make informed purchases, improve the performance of my equipment, and keep it looking and sounding its best. Reading Widescreen Review has changed my life for the better. Were it not for Widescreen Review introducing me to filming techniques; video transferring, production and playback; widescreen TV technologies; and audio production and playback, I probably would not have gone on to study these technologies to the degree that I have.
