WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:
Based on the book

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a pleasing picture with sharp and detailed images. Natural lighting, exterior scenes and candlelit interiors are beautifully presented. Colors are rich and fully saturated, with balanced fleshtones and deep blacks. Fine detail is wanting, as some bleeding occurs throughout the picture. The nighttime scenes where the main characters hide out in the first half of the movie seem to be lit by only one candle, but shadow delineation appears natural and appropriately dark. Though definition is a bit wanting, there are few distractions in the way of pixelization or edge enhancement.

Soundtrack:
The Dolby

Reason #110 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

I read Widescreen Review, because of all the A/V magazines I read, I trust the writers of Widescreen Review to give the most thorough review and honest opinion of any equipment being reviewed. I count on Widescreen Review to keep me informed on any and all new information in the world of home theatre more than any other source. I also base many of my DVD purchases on the review of the picture and sound of a particular DVD. I always look forward to finding Widescreen Review in my mailbox!
