      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    A real treat for fans of the award-winning television series, The X Files movie finds Special Agents Mulder (Duchovny) and Scully (Anderson) closer than they have ever been to unlocking the secrets behind government conspiracies. Continuing series

    DVD Picture:
    With a film that is often dark, this new anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits superb shadow delineation. Color balance is natural, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues and deep, true blacks. Imagery is sharp, with fine detail and definition, exhibiting improved clarity over the previously released DVD. There is no distracting pixelization for a picture that is quite crisp throughout. Minor source element artifacts are apparent. Though the score is the same as the previous DVD, this is the preferred version. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #100 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I primarily read WSR for unbiased information concerning the future of HD DVD. Articles are written in such a way that the average consumer can understand the technology and benefits of HD DVD. It's nice to be able to read articles from purist videophiles/audiophiles who clearly state their opinion on technologies/products with clear, understandable supporting information. When I read WSR, I have no doubt that the information within is complete and accurate. It's a publication I can TRUST!
