    Story Synopsis:

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a sharp and detailed picture, impressive definition and clarity, perfectly following through with the look of the first two movies. Textures in clothing, facial features, and sets are nicely rendered. Colors are rich and fully saturated, occasionally even bordering oversaturation, but hues are well balanced with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are excellent, with superb visual information in the darker scenes. The source element is quite clean with no distracting dirt and little in the way of film grain.

    Reason #91 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I need a magazine at dose and not a sugar coat approach to reviews. I need a magazine that is not bias or a sell-out. And Widescreen Review is my winner. I am a 23-year old audiophile that likes to stay in the know and up to date on what’s new and what’s hot. I can't do that with a magazine that says every single review is a good one, like other mags out there that will be left name-less. The Sound And Vision of a product is important, but don’t sell-out to make a buck, and those people out there are the ones who think that Gateway makes a good plasma. Keep up the good work. I love the mag.
