      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Dragons: Metal Ages," the sequel to "Dragons: Fire And Ice," is based on the Mega Bloks toy line and is sure to delight fans of all ages. The mythical medieval story of dragons and kingdoms continues, with armies clashing and worlds threatened to be conquered. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits computer-animated imagery that can be quite vibrant, with fire and lava that pop from the screen and dark, shadowy locations. The picture offers sharp and detailed images that should certainly delight younger audiences. Rare pixel breakup and occasional shimmering details are noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #37 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The magazine provides no bull, solid technical information that is truly useful to me. The product reviews are excellent for helping me decide what to purchase. The DVD software reviews also help me to decide what movies are reference quality to add to my collection. I also love that the issues are not stuffed full of advertisements.
