Is this a proper rls of Blade?

[BluRayMan69]

The Aspect Ratio for this rls is 2:39:1. The original rls from Alliance was 1:78:1 which is wrong and stretched the picture out.

The anamorphic standard was changed to 2.39 in 1971

1971-1993 0.700" x 0.838" 2.39
1993-2011 0.690" x 0.825" 2.39
(2X anamorphic lens)

Trinity OAR is 2.39 too


The actual aspect ratio of the Steelbook disc is probably the same as the old one:

Here are the aspect ratios:

• Blade: DVD (2.35:1) vs. Blu-Ray Alliance (1.78:1)
• Blade II: DVD (1.85:1) vs. Blu-Ray Alliance (1.78:1)
• Blade Trinity: DVD (2.35:1) vs. Blu-Ray Alliance (2.39:1) [Corrected my Mistake]

Note that Blade Trinity is supposed to be 2.35:1, not 1.85:1 as stated on this thread.

So Blade II is the only one that would make sense to purchase from Alliance.

Just to clear up some confusion about Blade:Trinity, the Alliance Blu is indeed 2.39:1. The packaging says 1.78:1 but the actual film on the disc is correct. I just popped it back in to confirm. Only the original Blade is cropped, the other 2 are just fine.

Blade Trinity Alliance is a very good disc. Blade 1 is not good, not only the AR problem, but video quality and audio quality is far from good enough I think.

You can safely buy 2 and 3. AQ on Blade 2 is awesome!

A lot of the time they just list the original aspect ratio of the film in these listings, and it's not corrected if the BR does not have that ratio until later. The listing just states what the original aspect ratio is and not what it is on that release. I'd wait and see.

It's most likely the same disc as before that's cropped to 1.78 from 2.39. On the original Alliance release, I'd give the video a 3/5. I think it's a good transfer, but the only thing keeping it a 5/5 is the fact that it's cropped from scope to matted.
