      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Featuring many of the stars of the Reggae music scene, Rockers paints a portrait of Rastafarian Jamaicans. Leroy

    DVD Picture:
    The 1.85:1 DVD is not anamorphically enhanced, but exhibits adequate image quality for the content of the film. Images are mostly soft and undefined, while some scenes exhibit decent sharpness. Colors can be richly, if not over saturated, and definition and clarity are wanting. Contrast is a bit low, and visual information is wanting in the darker scenes. Pixelization is occasionally noticed, as well as minor aliasing problems. Overall, the picture is unimpressive for a DVD. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #20 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am very interested in new inventions and expanding technology in products today. Also, I like to be able to look at the products and dream about owning some of them someday. I am a poor college student, so even though I can't always afford new things, I like to look and know about what's new out there.
