      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Star Trek V: The Final Frontier finds Captain Kirk

    DVD Picture:
    Viewed in component video and compared to the previously released, but not reviewed, LaserDisc, the non-anamorphic 2.35:1 DVD exhibits more refined color balance, with more accurately rendered fleshtones. Sharpness and clarity are improved, for images that are generally detailed throughout. Shadow delineation is nicely rendered with deeper black levels. There are minor aliasing problems and artifacts apparent, but overall the DVD is quite pleasing.

    Soundtrack:
    This remastered Dolby

    Reason #12 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I started with the Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guide and haven’t missed an issue since. I thought it would be nice to have a good resource for DVD reviews, but it’s turned into so much more. It’s to the point where if I don't see certain segments in the mag (new products, one installer, etc.), I feel a little disappointed. Please keep up the great work.
