      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Back in 1983 a big-budget science fiction miniseries about humanlike reptilian invaders of Earth aired on television, and was quite a success. Now you can see V: The Original Miniseries all over again. At first, it seems that the invaders have come in peace, but they are after the Earth

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced DVD exhibits made-for-TV images that are generally sharp and detailed, exhibiting good contrast and shadow delineation. Some scenes are softly focused, or slightly hazy, while other times the picture can appear somewhat

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #2 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel that WSR has provided me with information that has helped me understand an industry I knew very little about. I have used your reviews on equipment and DVDs to make purchasing decisions. I usually feel that I know more than the sales people at most electronic stores. I really do love WSR!
