      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    A new generation of children will love Wolfgang Petersen

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a generally sharp and detailed picture. Colors are well balanced, with natural fleshtones, and generally deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation should be well balanced. In the misty locations within the story, some pixelization creates a digital appearance. Finer details create shimmering patterns at times. Edge enhancement is also revealed. Showing signs of its age, the source element is revealing of some film grain, dirt and artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #60 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel the picture/sound reviews are very accurate. The reference systems are awesome. The WSR staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The on-line version of the magazine is a great reference tool. It is the most technically advanced home theatre magazine out there. If you consider yourself a serious home theatre buff, you should subscribe! It doesn't get anymore cutting edge than your Reference Holosonic Home Theatre Laboratory. Gary Reber has the coolest job on the planet!
