They zoomed it, cutting off a little bit from the sides.

It's not a 2.35 film. It's 1.85. The box is mislabeled.

I just watched the standard DVD last night.

It fills up all but about 1/2cm at the top and the bottom of my screen.

You can make it fit the screen by zooming but it's not worth it for a little black bar.

I think you're absolutely right. My box says 2.35 but if it really was 2.35 it would have the bars. Does this mean the movie is worth more now since the cover is defective? lol

This Blu-ray Night at the Museum filled up my whole screen. And I never set my display to fill screen (meaning I like to watch in original aspect ratio - even if it means black bars on top and bottom). I think the cover was mislabeled.
