Olivercomet 22 Report post Posted November 19, 2015 Found this on reddit, but thought it could be good for additional pics/continuity/etc. The films were shot in the typical 80's 4:3, and cropped to widescreen (which is how we view them today, unless you still have the fullscreen DVD.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOJ3XTc83R4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_TVxIfl_UI 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mini-Me 24 Report post Posted November 26, 2015 I think he's not exactly referring to HD as resolution, rather he wants to see it in better quality than in that clip :P. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjim114 8 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Well they were recorded on film. So they could (unlike digital) get a pretty big resolution image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was either this, or they pan and scan. The widescreen version is how it's suppose to be. No one is going to do a transfer of the unmatted frame, in HD. The only film ever gave you both options is the animated Transformers movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
88miles 7 Report post Posted February 3, 2016 It's a bit OT but my biggest disappointment is still about the cropped IMAX screen on dvd for The Ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the video footage is from the waiting line monitors, which is only in SD. I guess they just didn't bother getting the film master for the Ride screen portions. And said screw it.

The aspect ratio doesn't determine something is HD or not. 4:3 HD is just 1440X1080 resolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
