360 is a sexy, dramatic thriller about interconnected romantic life in the 21st century. The film opens in Vienna, weaving stories set in Paris, London, Bratislava, Rio, Denver, and Phoenix into a single, mesmerizing narrative. A businessman tempted to be unfaithful to his wife, sets into motion a series of events that ripple around the globe with dramatic consequences. (Gary Reber)

Special features include a making-of featurette (HD 13:03), behind-the-scenes, picture-in-picture comparisons (HD 04:23), an AXE TV promo spot, (HD 04:57), the theatrical trailer, upfront previews, and BD-Live functionality.

The 2.35:1 1080p AVC picture exhibits a natural appearance throughout. The color palette is naturally hued, with perfectly balanced fleshtones. Contrast is excellent with deep, solid blacks and revealing shadow delineation. Colors are warm and rich but never exaggerated. Resolution reveals fine detail in facial features, hair, clothing, and object texture. This is a beautiful picture experience that is warmly engaging, with realistic imagery. (Gary Reber)

The DTS-HD Master Audio� 5.1-channel soundtrack is nuanced throughout, with low-level ambiance that projects a dimensional quality. Sound effects further enhance the dramatics and atmospherics. The music score is well recorded, with subtle enveloping surround. Dialogue is naturally delivered with excellent spatial integration. This is a fine sonic experience that perfectly complements the storytelling. (Gary Reber)

Reason #54 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

I love WSR because I always seem to find out information on new technology or new products in your magazine first. Sometimes I find out as much as two issues in front of other publications. I also like the fact that you are not scared of technical articles, such as the video calibration article and the Digital Video Essential article, which goes into much depth and does not just skim the surface like many other publications seem to do. I like the articles, and I always skim forward to the end of the mag to read the new DVDs scheduled for release. I enjoy the mag very much! Keep it coming!
