Default Aspect Ratio

I'm pretty comfortable with most of the terms and specifics of HD and Blu-Ray, but I seem to get lost a lot on aspect ratio.

I understand 4:3 for TV and generally 16:9 for a theatre, but so many DVD/Blu-Ray titles differ in there aspect ratio. I'm confused; aren't these all (movies at least) basically 16:9 (not counting full screen DVDs) because they were released in a theatre?

How does one aspect ratio make for a higher review or better watching than another?

Thank you.
