Yes! I want all MI:GP blu-ray releases to have switching ARs 231 62.60%
Yes, but we should have a choice by deciding on a separate release 105 28.46%
No! Switching aspect ratios bother me and are too gimmicky 27 7.32%
No because I own a home theatre and can't watch these properly on my current setup. 6 1.63%

Default Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol Switching Aspect Ratio Poll

I decided to create this poll to see how many of you out there would actually WANT a blu-ray of MI:GP with shifting aspect ratios to include the full sized IMAX scenes in all their hi-def captured glory, (to join the likes of The Dark Knight, Transformers 2, or Tron: Legacy) or how many of you couldn't be bothered with the so-called "gimmick" and/or have home theatre systems that make viewing switching ARs a pain the behind.

I was all upset when I learned the sad news MI:GP will NOT feature the switching ARs, and that the amazing Brad Bird has decided to cut out areas of the picture, as if to say he made some huge mistake filming in IMAX in the first place.

I see it as an equivalent to cropping a widescreen picture to full frame like they used to back in the VHS days. I would like the entire picture intact as it was meant to be, as it was filmed. Not a chopped up image just so it's convenient for the 0.2% of homeowners out there who have projector displays.

But what say you? I figure numbers can speak volumes, so hopefully Paramount or someone with some pull will be able to see our cries for an IMAX version.

UPDATE! A recent Twitter convo Brad Bird had with regards to the issue
