      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:


    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a picture with a pleasing color palette. Fleshtones appear to be accurate, and colors are nicely saturated with deep blacks. Images are generally sharp, but fine details are wanting. Contrast seems a bit low, and the darker scenes lack adequate visual information. Viewing in a completely blackened room is recommended. There is a considerable amount of pixelization noticed, and edge enhancement can also be a problem. The source element is revealing of film grain, scratches, and dirt. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #57 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    WSR is the ONLY magazine, let alone A/V magazine I read. The insightful information about current and impending technological advancements allow me to make appropriate decisions about equipment purchases. WSR gives me the straight goods on which equipment to buy for current AND future use!
