    Story Synopsis:
    Ex Machina is the second installment in the Appleseed anim

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD shows a believable sense of depth, with very nicely crafted animation that, while not completely realistic in its color scheme, looks believable. Black levels are not as deep as they could be, which can give the image a somewhat hazy appearance, but shadow delineation is nicely rendered.

    Reason #71 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Before reading WSR I was an electronics nebbish. After reading WSR for more than a year, my friends and family consult me on purchasing TVs, sound systems, DVD players, and DVDs. I explain to them the differences between HDTV ready and capable, how to select a TV, DVD, and sound system and recommend that they become an expert like me by buying a copy of WSR. My life has new meaning!
