      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:


    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD appears to be the same as the previously released DVD. While not reference quality, the picture is generally pleasing throughout. Some images are slightly soft, though overall the picture is sharp and nicely detailed. Contrast and shadow delineation are excellent. Minor artifacts and pixelization are apparent throughout.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #49 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Reading Widescreen Review for the past four years has been a liberating experience for me. Issue after issue you continue to write the most intelligent, full depth, and logical reviews and you do not pull any punches. I've bought many of my home theatre items after reading about them in WSR, and I must say they perform exactly as you have written in your reviews. I'll be a customer for a long, long time. Thanks for a great magazine.
