    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a pleasing picture that is sharp and detailed, with nicely balanced contrast and shadow delineation. The color scheme is bright and nicely balanced, with accurate fleshtones, good saturation, and deep blacks. Edge enhancement can be a bit bothersome, but pixelization is minimal.

    Reason #111 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review provides reviews of the latest DVD releases and new video technologies. The widescreen reviews are concise, accurate, and dependable. Frequently, the magazine explains in detail about recent technology and why and how our latest gizmos work. I loved the articles on various display technologies - how they are different, how they work, and how they will replace CRTs in the near future. Widescreen Review has updated my video knowledge more than any other video rag.
