      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    A remote hunting tribe who dwell in the mountainous region of Africa in 10,000 BC are raided by a mysterious band of warlords on horseback who take many of the clan as slaves. D'leh (Strait), a young hunter in the clan, escapes the warlord's imprisonment, but watches his love, Evolet (Belle), being led away as a slave to the gruesome gang. It is up to D'leh to follow his heart and try to save his captive clansman and his love from a life of beatings, hard labor, and misery. Along the way D'leh meets many leaders of tribes that pledge their allegiance to him to try to overthrow the oppressors and gain the freedom of their fellow clansman back.(Stacey Pendry)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.38:1 DVD generally looks soft, but there are times when it can show good detail. Black levels are consistent throughout, but they are slightly elevated. Shadows are delineated well, though. Compression artifacts can be noticed throughout the presentation, and sporadic noise can be distracting as well. Colors are nicely saturated, often popping from the screen, and during daylight scenes, fleshtones look natural. Contrast is balanced well, and edge enhancement is minor. (Danny Richelieu)

    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!
