      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Also available in

    Story Synopsis:
    Based on Ferena Molnar

    DVD Picture:
    Compared to the LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 26, the THX digitally mastered 2.55:1 DVD exhibits improved clarity and sharpness, though not anamorphically enhanced. Colors are fully saturated with balanced fleshtones and deep blacks, appearing more refined when compared to the LaserDisc. While a nice improvement over the LaserDisc, aliasing problems can be distracting. Viewed along, the picture is wanting in sharpness and detail for generally mediocre visual quality.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #68 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    It's the only magazine that has the three essential elements that true home theatre and movie enthusiasts require: 1) knowledgeable balanced writing 2) more real informational content than eye-candy and 3) advance insight about future technology, trends, and products. Thanks WSR!
