      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Only available in a six-disc boxed set (includes the documentary disc

    Story Synopsis:
    In Beneath The Planet Of The Apes, astronaut Brent (Franciscus) travels ahead in time in search of missing astronaut Taylor (Heston). What he finds on the planet

    DVD Picture:
    The non-anamorphic DVD is a recycled transfer, with only slight improvements over the LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 31. When directly compared to the LaserDisc, the picture exhibits sharper images and improved clarity. Viewed alone, images can appear sharp, but other times smeared and undefined. For its age, colors are rich, but fleshtones are brownish for a dated appearance. Fine film grain and source element artifacts are apparent, but not to an excessive degree. For its age, the picture is generally pleasing, but edge enhancement and pixelization are evident and provide some distraction. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #108 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have been reading WSR for about two years now and especially enjoy the product review section. Although the other articles and review sections are generally well-written and informative, the product reviews give me an unbiased look at new technologies and products. Being in the home theatre design field, I look at many different sources for product ups and downs and find your magazine a very valuable resource in this area. Keep up the great work!!
