      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Matt Fletcher (Van Dien) is an archaeologist with a really big problem. The ground shakes below his dig as a giant mummy awakens. Can he and his crew survive the terror? The Fallen Ones proves that everyone loves a good low-budget movie (no matter how bad it may be). The impressive array of supplements include a 27-minute making-of featurette; a brief Creating Aramis The Mummy highlight; audio commentary; the trailer; a behind-the-scenes still gallery; a storyboard gallery; and the DVD-ROM screenplay. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture can look quite good at times, with the opening sequence taking place at night and delivering nice, deep blacks. The color in those shots and the creative lighting reveal pleasing details and textures. At other times during the presentation, the picture can appear soft, plugged-up, or smeared. There is some pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #114 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I appreciate the technical nature of your DVD reviews; that is, the way you rate the sound and picture quality of newly released DVDs. The reviews in most other magazines are concerned not with how good the DVD is, but with just the film itself: quality of the script, actors' performances, etc., all of which are subject to the critic's personal tastes, which may be wildly different from my own.
