      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    While "Lovers Of The Arctic Circle" may sound like a documentary on those enamored with the land, that's hardly the case. In actuality, the romantic and touching story is about Ana (Nimri) and Otto (Martinez), friends since childhood, and what fate and destiny delivers to them throughout the years. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture looks quite good, with richly saturated colors and pleasing balance. Images are sharp, but the picture can have a harsh appearance. A gritty texture is inherent, although some scenes are smooth and nicely defined. Edge halos are detected at times, and pixel breakup is occasionally a problem. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The extremely active Spanish Dolby

    Reason #31 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Great resource for the home theatre enthusiast and industry professional alike. WSR has a nice combination of technical information and lively informative reviews of equipment and software, along with strong coverage of industry trends.
