    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.32:1 DVD generally looks soft and relatively poorly defined. Colors often bleed, giving off a halo-like effect that can be a distraction. The color scheme is uncharacteristically limited for a film of this genre. Black levels are deep, but shadow delineation is lacking. The picture can occasionally have a digital, hard look, and edge enhancement is noticeable throughout. The H.264 AVC-encoded Blu-ray Disc looks much better, with better resolution

    Reason #29 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I originally subscribed to your magazine because I am a home theatre junkie, and it gave me one more way to feed my addiction. However, I find the one thing that I really enjoy is full access to your subscriber Web Site. I'm on it every day looking up a DVD review or reading an up-to-the minute article on what's going on in the world of home theatre. It's first on my favorites list.
