There was a bit of a discussion about this on James Cameron's behalf... he stuck to the full IMAX ratio for the BD because he thought that the taller image benefitted the look of this film, especially the flying scenes so you get that sense of height. In non-IMAX theatres, it was shown in a mix between 1.78:1 and matted 2.35(ish):1 depending on set up (usually the 2D ones were in the wider ratio, the 3D ones in 1.78). Other than that, he says he loves the 'scope' ratio.
