      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Back in 1983 a big-budget science fiction miniseries about humanlike reptilian invaders of Earth aired on television, and was quite a success. Now you can see V: The Original Miniseries all over again. At first, it seems that the invaders have come in peace, but they are after the Earth

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced DVD exhibits made-for-TV images that are generally sharp and detailed, exhibiting good contrast and shadow delineation. Some scenes are softly focused, or slightly hazy, while other times the picture can appear somewhat

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #32 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review as a way to dream. I think about the day I make it in life and how I will own only top of the line products featured in your magazine. I think about the parties and social functions at my house and how the centerpiece will be my entertainment system. Though at my current economic standing, it will take me years to be able to afford all the products I want without getting into credit debt, I still see no harm in reading about what will be mine.
