      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    A three-disc set, Cirque Du Soleil: Fire Within is a look into what it takes to be one of the performers in a Cirque Du Soleil production. Hundreds of the world's most talented dancers, clowns, acrobats, and singers dream of joining the show, but there is only room for a small number, and the talent scouts refuse to settle for anything less than the best. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    Shot for exhibition on the Bravo television network, Fire Within features 1.78:1 anamorphically enhanced images of generally pleasing quality, sourced from various elements. The lines, bars, mats, and other equipment in the gym and on-stage are often noticed shimmering or banding with distractions from the likes of aliasing and moir

    Soundtrack:
    Narration and dialogue is presented through each of the front three screen channels in this Dolby

    Reason #6 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for a couple of reasons. First, I work in the electronics industry, and it is essential to have great demo material when presenting a product. It would be impossible to buy every DVD out there to find out what looks and sounds good in the DVD world. Second, electronics is my passion. I am constantly looking for any new information on software and hardware. WSR is a great source of information on both hardware and software.
