      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Set in the mid-1980

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.84:1 DVD features desaturated colors and a color scheme that is dominated by golds and browns. The source material is very clean, but resolution can be wanting, with many images looking relatively soft. Black levels are adequately deep, but the image can look somewhat hazy, giving the image a somewhat flat look. Shadow delineation is good, though, with details in the darker sections of the image nicely rendered. Pixilation is not overly distracting and edge enhancement is minor enough to not be problematic. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #54 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love WSR because I always seem to find out information on new technology or new products in your magazine first. Sometimes I find out as much as two issues in front of other publications. I also like the fact that you are not scared of technical articles, such as the video calibration article and the Digital Video Essential article, which goes into much depth and does not just skim the surface like many other publications seem to do. I like the articles, and I always skim forward to the end of the mag to read the new DVDs scheduled for release. I enjoy the mag very much! Keep it coming!
