      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Eragon (Speleers), a young boy who finds the last known dragon egg, is destined to become its rider. The two form a bond and embark on a journey to save Eragon

    DVD Picture:
    Like the previously reviewed Blu-ray Disc, the anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits black levels that are not as deep as in the best releases, which results in an image that can look rather flat and hazy. Colors are bold and vibrant during the daytime scenes, and fleshtones look natural. Night scenes have a greenish tint to them, which can make fleshtones look somewhat sickly. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #59 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have read Widescreen Review for years because it has been the only magazine available to me that describes the benefits and options available to anyone interested in widescreen movie viewing. I have learned a lot about movies and their display options (including sound) from reading this magazine.
