      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Two brothers, Dean (Forte) and John (Arnett) Solomon, who were raised and homeschooled by their dad in a remote Arctic location, find out their dying father

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.84:1 DVD has a somewhat washed-out appearance with slightly undersaturated colors and a generally pale appearance. Black levels are fairly deep, though, and shadow delineation is good. Fleshtones can have a pinkish hue, but generally they look natural. Details can be delivered nicely at times as well, but there are moments when the imagery looks fairly soft. Edge enhancement is noticeable throughout and can be quite heavy, and compression artifacts can also be seen at times. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #22 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it gives you the most recent reviews on AMPS, SPEAKERS, and DVDS, etc. Some of which are not available in the U.K at the time of publication. I enjoy your reviews of recently released DVDs. I am a keen fan of your magazine. Thanks for a great magazine.
