      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:


    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced DVD (framed in a windowboxed 1.66:1 ratio) exhibits a nicely rendered picture, with generally sharp and nicely detailed images. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, naturally rendered hues, and deep blacks. At times, accent colors can pop from the screen. Contrast and shadow delineation are satisfying, though the picture can have a dim appearance at times. There is some minor smearing noticed, for a lack of fine definition. The source element is revealing of fine film grain and few artifacts. Edge enhancement rarely is a problem, but there is some pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Cantonese Dolby

    Reason #100 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I primarily read WSR for unbiased information concerning the future of HD DVD. Articles are written in such a way that the average consumer can understand the technology and benefits of HD DVD. It's nice to be able to read articles from purist videophiles/audiophiles who clearly state their opinion on technologies/products with clear, understandable supporting information. When I read WSR, I have no doubt that the information within is complete and accurate. It's a publication I can TRUST!
