      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Dale Launer was inspired to write the original screenplay,

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD exhibits a picture that looks a bit dated. While colors can be rich and naturally balanced, hues seem a bit weak at times. Images are often undefined and slightly smeared. Contrast seems a bit low, limiting detail, and visual information tends to get lost in the darker scenes. There is a very small amount of edge enhancement noticed. The source element is revealing of film grain and occasional artifacts. Overall, the picture looks older than expected. (Suzanne Hodges) The DVD also includes a modified 1.33:1 version (not reviewed).

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #26 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Before WSR, there was a 4:3 picture tube. After WSR, there is a nice 65 inch widescreen rear projection TV. However, it's only a beginning, because WSR started a dream. The reality looks crisper and clearer now, even the sound is more precise and enveloping. Widescreen Review: P5/S5, one's critic’s composite: 5. Thank you, WSR. Keep up the excellent work!
