Which aspect ratio is better for 3D movies? Fullscreen, widescreen, variable etc

[ahmedreda]

That is only partially true. Scope is supposed to be larger than 16:9 but IMAX 16x9 (or whatever aspect ratio they use) is supposed to be larger than scope.

I am not religious about which aspect ratio is supposed to be larger.. I have a 16x9 screen which is what worked best for my setup. If I had a wider wall, I would have gone with a scope screen but given that my screen is 16x9, I have no problem watching 16x9 content in a size bigger than scope whether it is Imax or not.

This isn't actually up for debate, you can prefer a 1.78:1 screen etc, but that is not what was being said or discussed. Those with scope setups really should consider getting a video processor to crop the image back to scope.
