    In "The Naked Gun," a detective (Liam Neeson), who follows in his father's footsteps, works to solve a murder case and save his police department from closure. )Gary Reber)

    Special features include six featurettes: "A Legacy Of Laughter" (HD 08:57), "Son Of A (Naked) Gun" (HD 05:59), "The Funny femme Fatale" (HD 04:32), "The Really Unusual Suspects" (HD 04:22), "On Set Of A Set Within A Set That's In A Set" (HD 03:42) and "Dropping The Balls" (HD 03:26); outtakes (HD 12:28); 16 deleted, alternate, and extended scenes (HD 16:32) and a digital copy.

    The 2.39:1 1080p picture, reviewed on a VIZIO Quantum X P85QX-JI UHD/HDR display, was photographed digitally in anamorphic Panavision® using Arri Alexa Mini LF and sourced from a 4K master Digital Intermediate format. The setting is Los Angeles and numerous production sets. Picture quality is excellent. The color palette is nicely saturated with warm and rich hues that appear natural throughout under the various lighting schemes. Flesh tones appear perfectly natural. Contrast is realistic. Black levels are deep. Shadows are revealing, White levels are stylistic and well illuminated. Resolution is excellent. Facial features reveal skin pores, lines, beards and hair. Wardrobes reveal textures. Set treatments exhibit realistic detail. This is a fun and comedic-infused picture. (Gary Reber)

    The Dolby Atmos/Dolby TrueHD 7.1-channel soundtrack is comedic dialogue focused with lots of sound effects that deliver a comedic impact. At times, sound effects burst out with intensity, depth and directionality. Atmospherics sound realistic. Deep bass occupies the ear-level channels with the occasional .1 LFE boost. The orchestra and music score is dynamic sounding with a wide and deep soundstage that aggressively extends to the surrounds for envelopment. Dialogue is unusually ADR produced, especially Liam Neeson's dialogue and narration, and wanting in spatial integration.

    The Immersive Sound element is comprised of an extension of the orchestra score sans the big band jazz segments, extended nuanced dialogue extension. fight crowd cheering, an occasional atmospheric and various loud sound effects. This is a generally effective height layer treatment with moments of SPL intensity.

    This is a holosonic® spherical surround soundtrack with ridiculously funny dialogue and excellent music and sound effects dynamics. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #34 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I was always told to seek the superlative, and where home entertainment is concerned, WSR makes sure that my reach always exceeds my grasp. Fortunately, in this case, it's a good thing. I can count on WSR to always go beyond what every other magazine in the industry can provide. It has inspired me to explore the concepts, both technical and subjective, to the extent that I even feel smarter about home entertainment technology. Hardware and software are both dealt with in an informative and engaging way, so the value of the magazine surpasses its modest price. WSR has been a great inspiration for my wishes and dreams. I wish I could afford the ultra wares I see covered in the magazine. Nevertheless, I am wiser because I have gained a sense of judgment through reading WSR. (I must admit to having a bit of common sense, though, since I have been using Monster Cable products for over 10 years!) I hope WSR will continue to ignite the interest in its audience as it has up to now.
