Default POTR:DMC 16x9
Pirates of the Carribeanead's man chest was on tv (in hd) the other night, in a full 16x9 ratio. I made comparisons with the blu-ray disc in 2.35:1 (the theatrical aspect ratio) and found out something surprising: the version on tv was not a zoom on the 2:35 version, but expended on it! It added previously unseen details, mostly in the bottom part of the image.

I contacted a friend who worked on the movie at ILM and he confirmed that the version they sent to DI was 16x9, and the 2:35 was cropped from it.

So, knowing that the director approved (but might not prefer) a full 16x9 version that fills the black bars, what would you rather see?
