Yes, I did mean that the WS was how it was meant to be seen, not which version show more image.
I doubt the Director had the WS and FS image in mind when filming, thats not how most Directors think, but that is how Studios think.
And i imagine all the FS people would hate it to go to a 4:3 Cinema, probably most would ask why it wasn't Full Screen.
quote: Being that this was shot on 35mm film, which has an aspect ration of 1.37:1, you only lose very little when cropping it to 1:33:1 (4:3).
Maybe im nitpicking now, but thats wrong. Standard 35mm film actually has a ratio of 1:33:1 so there is no cropping, but Super35mm has the soundtrack lines removed, and they are used to film, so the AR is now 1:66:1.
Also the special effects for films are usually created for the WS version only, as using the whole film area takes more time and costs more money, so is hardly used, so most Special effects shots are cropped from the WS version.
