      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After having no regard for the cleanliness of their planet

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD picture is slightly dark in character, but when viewed in a completely blackened room, should present satisfying imagery throughout. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues and deep blacks. Once on the red planet, colors shift to warm reddish monochromatic overtones throughout the color scheme. Shadow delineation is nicely rendered, despite the dim character of the picture. Fine details infrequently shimmer on the space suits and clothing, but distractions like edge enhancement and pixelization do not pose much of a threat to the pleasing image quality.

    Reason #126 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review to determine which products are worth spending my hard-earned money on. With all of the constant changes in the world of home entertainment, one needs a source of information and insight on what works and what doesn't. Having a home theatre, I don't want to go out and buy the latest gimmick. I want parts that will be good now and still be good later on down the line. Widescreen Review lets me know which equipment from the sea of electronics fits my needs! I recommend it to all who want unbiased opinions on what works and what doesn't!
