      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Panicked by certain

    DVD Picture:
    The 1.85:1 DVD is anamorphically enhanced, exhibiting sharp images and fair detail. The look of this movie is one with very exaggerated hues, especially the two gender-separating uniform colors: blue and pink. With that in mind, sometimes colors are nicely balanced, while other times appearing over saturated. Some smearing is evident. Contrast and shadow delineation are mediocre, as visual information is wanting in the darker scenes. Minor artifacts and pixelization are apparent, but more distracting is the presence of edge enhancement. Though the look is intentionally exaggerated, the picture is generally mediocre.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #68 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    It's the only magazine that has the three essential elements that true home theatre and movie enthusiasts require: 1) knowledgeable balanced writing 2) more real informational content than eye-candy and 3) advance insight about future technology, trends, and products. Thanks WSR!
