FunnyML 81 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I like comparing them. Here is one I did for The Negotiator (1998). Grayscale image is an HDTV screenshot, color image is from the Bluray. I compared them to see, wether the HDTV version is open matte or not. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,033 Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 After watching Jurassic Park at the cinema when it premiered, I purchased it on a pan & scan VHS. When I finally got the film on widescreen DVD years later, some of the sets looked smaller because they fit in a single frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTallJodie 59 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Big fan. While I'm all-in on Cinemascope, I'm always fascinated by those open matte VHS tapes that were uncropped from the original film so there's, like, boom mikes hanging over everyone's heads. Although nothing can measure up to the NEVER-ENDING ASPECT RATIO that is Disney's Circle*Vision 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,647 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I like some aspect ratios, but not others. Most of em, I like. I hate a few. Of those that I hate, they’re mostly good, except for of course the one or two that aren’t. And even then, those are fine.

I'll take this seriously and point out how many movies in the theater are in a given aspect ratio even though most screens are in another. (I'll generalize to 16:9 and 2.39:1.) I never had a problem with black bars on the top and bottom of my big screen TV when it was 4:3. I don't have a problem with black bars on the side now. If I ever had the luxury of a scope screen TV I certainly wouldn't complain about the black bars on Justice League. I do remember there was a period in the late 80's / early 90's where I felt a lot of movies were being made with an eye towards living on the TV screen for the rest of their lives. Batman felt this way. Always (there's that movie AGAIN) and The Rocketeer did not. I always just assumed that everyone wanted to live in Cinemascope. But then I heard the commentary for Buckaroo Banzai where the director said that wide screen was pushed on him. He thought it had lots of limitations, especially for his film. Of all of the memories to have of a movie, I remember seeing Disney's Atlantis in the cinema. After the trailers the theater pulled the curtains back just a little bit wider. I tried to tell the ten year old sitting next to me that this was exciting! He didn't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
