      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In George Armitage

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD picture is bright and colorful, with richly saturated hues, accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. The lush beach locations with red sand and tropical plants provide ample opportunity for colors to pop from the screen. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with pleasing textures, as well as nicely balanced contrast and shadow delineation. Unfortunately, there are some instances in which edge enhancement can be a problem. However, the distraction is not always present, and pixelization is also quite minor. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #10 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have read and researched many so called hi-fi mags to find intelligent and well-balanced professional reviews on new home theatre equipment for my new house. Widescreen Review has, in my opinion, provided me with a no-bias approach to help me in building my new dream system. Widescreen Review is my primary resource for the latest news in DVD home theatre gear. And your Web Site is an excellent place, too.
