      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Canceling his trip to America, Allan Quatermain (Chamberlain) puts off his wedding and instead goes searching for his missing brother. His archeologist girlfriend Jesse (Stone) decides to go with him And the two head for The Lost City Of Gold where they find themselves looking for the long lost treasure of an ancient civilization. Action and adventure await them at every step of the way. Based on H. Rider Haggard

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1-framed DVD picture looks dated, with colors that can sometimes appear naturally balanced, but with fleshtones that can seem a bit brownish. Blacks are deep, but often undefined. While sharpness can be satisfactory, there are frequent occasions in which the picture appears hazy or blurred. Viewing in a completely blackened room is recommended, as many scenes are right on the line of appearing too dark. There is some pixelization apparent, as well as some shimmering details, but edge enhancement is not a problem. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    This 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.
