      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    One of the most technically challenging movies to be produced from Korea, using American actors, Reptilian is the science fiction tale about a distant cousin of Godzilla and T-Rex, who can breath fire and loves to break stuff (just see its profile). Excavated from its prehistoric grave by greedy paleontologists who do not realize that the gigantic reptile, Younggary, is protected and controlled by a space ship that is willing to destroy the Earth. Younggary

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a generally pleasing imagery, with satisfying sharpness and detail. Colors appear well-balanced, with accurate fleshtones, and generally deep blacks. The computer generated images are slightly subdued in sharpness and color saturation, but are nonetheless entertaining. The source element is revealing of film grain and occasional artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #36 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it’s simply the best A/V magazine available. No other magazine includes such a comprehensive discussion of developments and potential developments in the field, as well as a detailed analysis of systems and products available. Widescreen Review provides thorough and easy-to-follow “how to” sections in building and setting up home theatre and is the definitive authority on quality DVDs. No other magazine can beat all that. Kudos to Widescreen Review! I will never stop my subscription.
