WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:
After a twenty-year-old bomb goes off in Berlin, six former friends come together to discuss the consequences of their actions years ago. During the 1980s, the group was full of anti-government, youthful beliefs and acted on those beliefs. Forgetting all about their past actions, they never considered "What To Do In Case Of Fire?" (Was Tun, Wenn

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a stylized picture, that often has a desaturated, highly contrasted appearance. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. The picture has a crisp, cold feel, with lots of stark whites and gray exteriors. Images are quite sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered definition and clarity. There is some minor edge enhancement noticed, and pixelization occasionally breaks apart finer details. Fine film grain inherent in the source element adds a gritty texture to the picture. (Suzanne Hodges)

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!
