      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:


    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a nicely rendered and stylized picture, with colors that range from warm and well balanced to cold blue hues. Images are sharp, with nicely rendered detail. Viewing in a completely blackened room is recommended for optimal visual information in the darkest scenes. There is some minor pixelization and edge enhancement, but overall the picture is quite pleasing. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The DVD features Dolby

    Reason #133 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read all the consumer trade magazines, but WSR is the only one to delve into the technology in a literate, yet useful fashion. I've learned more about home theatres from WSR than from any other title on the market.
