      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    From Toho Pictures, the fine folk who brought you the original, comes Godzilla 2000. Yep, the real deal is back in all his foot stomping, building squashing, radio tower champing glory. And not a minute too soon. Here we watch as the big guy comes out of the ocean

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits inconsistent image quality. Colors are rich, occasionally appearing a bit oversaturated and plugged-up, with slightly orange fleshtones. Though images can be sharp, the picture is a bit flat and wanting in dimension. Considering that many of the distractions relate to the source, the picture is generally solid and should be quite pleasing. Pixelization and edge enhancement are apparent, as are source element artifacts.

    Soundtrack:
    The soundtrack, presented in Dolby

    Reason #6 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for a couple of reasons. First, I work in the electronics industry, and it is essential to have great demo material when presenting a product. It would be impossible to buy every DVD out there to find out what looks and sounds good in the DVD world. Second, electronics is my passion. I am constantly looking for any new information on software and hardware. WSR is a great source of information on both hardware and software.
