      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Stemming from an ancient Sufi word meaning

    DVD Picture:
    The 2.35:1 DVD is not anamorphically enhanced, and exhibits a picture with intriguing images that were shot in 65mm. Overall, the picture has a soft appearance. The image is occasionally jumpy, and aliasing problems are noticed at times. Edge enhancement is apparent on occasion. While image quality is not up to par with today

    Soundtrack:
    Although spatial coherence and delineation on this Dolby

    Reason #66 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I sell electronics, and I need to know what's new and more importantly what's the best that my customers can buy and why. Product reviews are always informative, and I am better able to stay on top of the market.
