      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When you first put this DVD in the player, you might ask yourself what the #$*! am I watching!? What The #$*! Do We Know!? (What The Bleep Do We Know!?) is touted as part-documentary, part-story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. Marlee Matlin stars as Amanda whose uninspired life tumbles down a metaphysical rabbit hole, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is a creative and intriguing visual experience that nicely complements the thought-provoking subject matter. Visual effects and animations are integrated with live action, creating hallucinogenic visuals. Colors can be overly saturated and vibrantly unrealistic, but suitable for the otherworldly visuals. Minor smearing is evident, as images sometimes lack natural definition and clarity. There is some edge enhancement and minor pixelization, but nothing that is terribly distracting from the visuals. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Detailed phantom imaging, impressive pans, and articulate bass define the Dolby

    Reason #111 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review provides reviews of the latest DVD releases and new video technologies. The widescreen reviews are concise, accurate, and dependable. Frequently, the magazine explains in detail about recent technology and why and how our latest gizmos work. I loved the articles on various display technologies - how they are different, how they work, and how they will replace CRTs in the near future. Widescreen Review has updated my video knowledge more than any other video rag.
