      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Celebrating its 25th anniversary and arriving on DVD for the first time, Reds is Warren Beatty

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is cleaned up very well, with little in the way of source element artifacts and well-rendered colors and detail. Blacks are deep, and shadow delineation is good. Fine details can be lost at times, whites can be slightly bloomy, and some edge enhancement can be noticed, although it is a good picture. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #77 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Of all the technical magazines available for the home theatre enthusiast, and the competition is fierce, WSR stands out as the most informative, presenting a technical depth one would expect only from an industry trade journal compiled for the professional. WSR provides its subscribers with unique analysis, trends, reviews and articles in a publication that is eagerly devoured from cover-to-cover. Hats off to the entire staff and the excellent contributors.
