      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Alias starts off with a bang when Agent Sydney Bristow (Garner) is separated from her fiance Michael Vaughn (Vartan) yet again. This time Vaughn is presumed dead, and Sydney is left pregnant and alone. But that doesn't stop her from circling the globe, trying to stay one step ahead of the bad guys (or girls), while attempting to outsmart the double-crossers who are all part of her everyday life in this Final Season of the popular ABC television show. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 episodes can look good with vibrant colors, but blacks are slightly murky and whites are bloomy. Pixelization can be a problem, and the image can often have a pasty look to it. Edge enhancement is noticeable at times, although it is not overly distracting. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #104 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I trust it, and more importantly it is a trust, which has been earned. Reading Widescreen Review is still the best way for me to keep abreast of new products and emerging technologies, and it has heightened my senses and enhanced my appreciation of my own home theatre. Thanks to Widescreen Review, I have been able to make informed purchases, improve the performance of my equipment, and keep it looking and sounding its best. Reading Widescreen Review has changed my life for the better. Were it not for Widescreen Review introducing me to filming techniques; video transferring, production and playback; widescreen TV technologies; and audio production and playback, I probably would not have gone on to study these technologies to the degree that I have.
