Signs / The Recruit Aspect ratio ??? - Blu-ray Forum

jpthomas27 · 03-25-2008, 05:00 AM

Signs and the The Recruit just appeared on Amazon as a pre-order but what is with the aspect ratio. Both are listed as 1.33:1!

The original apect ratio of The Recruit was 1.78:1 and the original aspect ratio of Signs wass 1.85:1.

I really hope that Disney isn't going to start a rediculous trend of releasing full screen versions on Blu.

For now, I'm holding out hope that this is simply a typo...it better be!

This is most definitely a typo, trust me. Ive never seen a 4x3 Blu Ray.

Yah, a lot of their info is unreliable, Ive learned that over the years.

Yeah, don't ever trust details on Amazon's page. Two weeks ago I submitted information trying to correct the details on the movie "Reds" on Blu-ray. I changed four different things, including aspect ratio and audio options, none of them have been corrected.

Thats more than likely the case. What a boring job that would be for creative people. Writing for Amazon.

allstar780 · 03-25-2008, 06:59 AM

Well now that the strike is over, they should update those listings.

Actually, the OAR for The Recruit is 2.35:1. This will be the first time it's been released in its OAR.

Check IMDB, they usually list the aspect ratio of how every movie was filmed
