The difference is very small, but I'd rather we got more than less.
1.43:1

1.78:1

1.90:1 in a 1.78:1 container

But I gotta say, I shouldn't have mentioned it because the difference is so small.
Where is the first pic from?

And the second one is a screenshot you took, I assume?

And the third one you made in Paint or something?? :lol:

In principle, I don't think any information would be lost from the negative to the print.
But it is.

You don't want the edge of the frame, with hair and other crap, on the screen.
The projector should do some cropping and so should the screen masking, if it exists.

You can pretty much scan the full image the camera has captured and there's no hair and crap involved. But they definitely didn't scan a print for the BD master. I don't know what their process was but I think they made the IMAX DCP straight out of the scans used for VFX but I'm still not sure.

Is the extra height on the 1.78 really that small compared to 1.90? I thought it was more... Anyway I guess you're right.

Is that true? Film projectors cut off the edge of the frame? Is that a regular occurrence?

So directors who film in film film knowing in advance that the edge of the frame will be cropped?

And what do you mean by "the edge of the frame, with hair and other crap"?

Why are things more likely to attach to the edge of the film rather than, say, the center?

I feel like we're due for a Nolan commentary track with this film.

This, and the upcoming remastered versions of Nolan's films, is going to force me to convert to 4K.

Since prologue was different in some parts what do you guys think are the chances Nolan will release it as a bonus on blu-ray?

I think it could be interesting to see how they put it together, you know, if they will include trailers (like they usually do) why not add this as a promotional part of the film?


PS: If it will be then we might be able to extract Zimmers score too.

Yeah, me too. I already invested in a really good 4K TV, still waiting on 4K Bluray players to drop a bit in price.

Chances are good I'd say
