    DVD Picture:
    Compared to the previously issued, non-anamorphic DVD, this new anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a drastically improved picture, though image quality is not pristine. The picture is generally sharp, with fine detail occasionally well rendered. Film grain is revealed throughout. A bit of pixelization is noticed, and images occasionally shimmer with aliasing artifacts. Overall, the picture is much preferred to the previous DVD, but lacks the polished look of other anamorphic DVDs available today. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The English-language soundtrack is re-mastered Dolby

    Reason #76 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Our family has made a significant investment in a dedicated home theatre. Upon reading nearly every other home theatre publication, I have found that Widescreen Review has consistently provided us accurate reviews, and as such have built a substantial library of movies and equipment, which we consider “Keepers.” I find the equipment reviews, especially the Subwoofer Special Edition, to be right on the money and a must-have. The video equipment reviews (we are currently in the market for a front projector) are educationally based as well as comparatively based, so I learn about equipment in general while I can compare specifications. I thank you for a publication well worth the cover price issue after issue.
