    Story Synopsis:
    Steven Spielberg

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture is slightly dated, but exhibits a bright, balanced image. Colors are accurately rendered, with natural fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are sharp and nicely detailed. Viewing should take place in a completely blackened room for the appropriately dark, nighttime shark hunting excursions at sea. Some scenes are overly contrasted. Overall, the transfer is quite clean, with little distracting pixelization. Minor artifacts and occasional enhancement is noticed, but the picture is quite pleasing, especially for its age. This is the best this movie has ever looked on video.

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #4 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review to get the facts on equipment and industry news. I started reading your magazine as a consumer and found your level of education and technical detail refreshing when compared to the audio/video mass I read before.Now I run my own custom home theatre company and find your mag invaluable in keeping up with the direction this industry is going. I also give a subscription as a gift to each of my customers knowing that they will be further educated and will enjoy their equipment even more.
