How the West Was Won is spectacular!

For those of us who may have attended an actual Cinerama presentation, this Blu-Ray, containing the restored HTWWW, is an AWESOME reminder of how wonderful this process was. For those who may have only experienced previous iterations of the SD-DVD format, this presentation will be literally "eye-opening". What a thoroughly wonderful viewing experience! The audio (actually, Dolby TrueHD!) will also please beyond expectations!! WOW! What is particularly interesting in this boxed set is the 2nd disc on which the viewer can watch a "SmileBox" version of the entire film (including the Dolby TrueHD soundtrack) with the upper and lower edges of the "screen" curved to give the impression of being "part of" the Cinerama experience! Additionally, great care was taken to "digitally" smooth the "blend zone" where the 3 film panels came together, and the result is a visually seemless widescreen presentation. Warner Bros. has hit one way out on this one!! BRAVO!
I would hope that if a restoration is possible for The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm (the Cinerama version), that they will consider Smilebox again!
