      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers team up in Predator when they are sent to rescue hostages held by guerrilla fighters in Central America. But on their arrival, they discover they have become the hunted when they square off against an intelligent, yet horrifying alien creature with chameleon-like capabilities.

    DVD Picture:
    This new anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD, compared to the non-anamorphic DVD reviewed in Issue 31, is an improvement, but is not of reference quality. The previous version

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #49 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Reading Widescreen Review for the past four years has been a liberating experience for me. Issue after issue you continue to write the most intelligent, full depth, and logical reviews and you do not pull any punches. I've bought many of my home theatre items after reading about them in WSR, and I must say they perform exactly as you have written in your reviews. I'll be a customer for a long, long time. Thanks for a great magazine.
