      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Four of the best pilots in the U.S. Air Force are in training to be the first Americans in space. But just as the launch date approaches, the Air Force is replaced by a new civilian agency known as NASA, and the Space Cowboys are replaced by a chimpanzee! The four members of Team Daedalus couldn

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.25:1 DVD opens with gorgeous monochromatic blue-gray scenes, which almost appear to be black-and-white, but have a more subtle, smooth appearance. The film progresses to fully saturated color, with well-balanced fleshtones and deep, undefined blacks. Images are sharp and detailed, though some scenes are a bit soft.

Fine details, like miniblinds, rarely create problems, as the picture is mostly solid and quite natural in appearance. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #128 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it gets to the details I'm really interested in knowing. It doesn't beat around the bush. I love the DVD reviews and the insightful articles. Besides insightful, WSR seems to be able to put into print some of the latest breaking news in this ever-changing industry within weeks, if not days, of the original release of the news. And last but not least, I have access to the subscription website.
