      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Ben Wade (Crowe) and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers plague the Southern Railroad in the Wild West of the 1800s. Civil War veteran Dan Evans (Bale), a struggling rancher, volunteers to deliver the infamous outlaw, Wade, alive, to the 3:10 To Yuma, a train that will take the criminal to trial. With Wade's posse in hot pursuit of the duo, the grueling journey turns into a violent, impossible mission with the two adversaries earning each other's respect. Based on the short story by Elmore Leonard. (Stacey Pendry)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a very pleasing picture, with fairly well-balanced contrast and solid black levels. Outdoor scenes can look somewhat too hot, but color balance is still good. Shadow delineation is quite good, with details in the shadows delivered nicely. Resolution is good, with fine textures delivered nicely. The color palette gives the picture the look of a western, dominated by warm, earthy tones. Still, sky blues and greens look natural.

    Reason #112 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The first thing that grabbed my interest was the DVD reviews. But after I purchased that first issue and read the reviews, I got hooked on all of the other information contained in each issue. I had adopted the DVD format fairly early on, and I have had a strong preference for widescreen, dating back to my VHS days. The technical information is a godsend. I feel that I have saved so much money by avoiding inferior quality DVDs. I was very ignorant about the technology out there for home theatre and was not aware of the resources I had that were really going to waste. (5.1 in my movie collection) I read and read and read and finally updated my antiquated system. It is such a wonderful joy to turn down the lights, turn up the sound, and enjoy movies more than I ever could at a theatre. I knew it was worth it even more when my wife said, “Cool” as we watched The Others with true surround sound. Widescreen Review has actually helped improve my quality of life!
