      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Similar to 1976

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits colors that are bold and vibrant, with deep blacks. Hues, however, touch over saturation at times, appearing overly red, with fleshtones appearing hot, and whites with a hint of pink at times. Images are generally sharp, but finer details are wanting, with the picture appearing slightly smeared at times. There is some apparent edge enhancement. The source element is revealing of a few artifacts and dirt, as well as a little bit of film grain. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #33 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because there is no other magazine on the market that will teach me everything about home theatre gear. I will feel more confident speaking to a salesman when the time comes to upgrade my system. Your knowledge and expertise in WSR have made me a better customer and a joyful home theatre enthusiast. Thank you all at WSR for a job well done, and continue to teach the way you have since the beginning.
