Quintus 5,399 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 The new title is well better. Edge of Tomorrow was about as generic a title as it gets. So couldn't they get Bill Murray then? Tom Cruise seems like an odd replacement for the futuristic sequel to Groundhog Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 But changing a title isn't all that uncommon if you live in other language countries such as ours (dutch-speaking and french-speaking) The Hangover becomes Very Bad Trip for the french-speaking. Seriously, what's wrong with the original title??? The Germans are fond of taking the English title and adding a "funny" German subtitle. Or occasionally of replacing the original English title with a different, unrelated English one. Sometimes it takes me years to figure out that two films I've been hearing about are actually one and the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The shifting aspect ratio is good reason to avoid it.I like the shifting aspect ratio. The Dark Knight and Tron Legacy actually made me unaware it had shifted when I was already a couple of seconds into the scene, it was very well edited.And the most spectacular scenes really benefit from the 1.85:1 ratio. More image means more eye candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Well they should have shot the whole movie in 1.85:1. I hate it when it shifts back and forth between letterbox and full screen in the one movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Generally speaking, I prefer black bars. A lot of my favorite movies are shot in 2.35:1. I don't know why but to me it makes everything look better, more cinematic.The IMAX footage of TDK looks great though.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Both formats have advantages. I generally prefer the 1.85:1 ratio. Avatar & Titanic 3D look simply stunning. But the more cinematic 2.35:1 is right for films with panoramic vista's and wide shots.I don't understand why they would do comedies in the latter format though (The Hangover for example). Not that it hampers my enjoyment of that flick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Would it have been better if TDK was shot in IMAX entirely? From what I remember, the resolution of the IMAX footage certainly looks impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Would it have been better if TDK was shot in IMAX entirely?Nolan can have his IMAX shots, which is fine. But he may as well have shot the rest in 1.85:1 if it was going to create such a mess on home video. I really do find the shifting the most annoying thing about those movies. It annoyed me in Tron Legacy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
