      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Readily admitting to previously making mistakes in the application of military power, the Academy Award

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is of variable quality due to different source elements that make up this documentary. There are some creative visuals, interview segments, stock footage and crisp transitions. The interview segments offer satisfying color fidelity, and blacks are deep and solid. Most of the anomalies with this picture are related to the various source elements. There is no distracting pixelization or edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #14 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Well, I spent most of my young years in the military (U.S. Ranger). My father really got me going in home theatre gear. There’s nothing like getting a good movie on DVD, turning on my HDTV, my Sony a/v receiver, and sitting down for good quality entertainment. I still enjoy the articles and reviews you give me. Please keep doing a great job. I look forward to the next issue.
