      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course" is a cheeky journey with Steve

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a generally satisfying picture, but one that stylistically varies to differentiate the "Crocodile Hunter" show-within-the-movie from "Collision Course." That said, film grain inherent in the source element is also variable (appearing more amplified in the 1.85:1-framed windowboxed/pillarboxed show segments). Colors are consistently pleasing throughout, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Edge enhancement is definitely a problem with this title, and pixelization is often noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #96 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I enjoy reading WSR because it is much more informative than the run of the mill A/V mags. The articles on cutting edge equipment are excellent. I enjoy the home theatre set-up articles. The movie reviews are first rate. Keep up the great work.
