List of Vudu Movies with Incorrect Aspect Ratio

[RollTide1017]

Is this list so pretty accurate? I ask because the 2-minute previews for both Raiders of the Last Ark and IJ Temple of Doom are in the correct AR. Does it switch to full-screen 16x9 after the opening credits or have they been corrected. I'd love to buy them but not if they are not in the correct in OAR.

Zhang Yimou's Curse of the Golden Flower is cropped on the Vudu version compared to the Blu-ray (2.40:1).

The list hasn't been updated since 09-26-2013, so it's very possible that some of these have been corrected in the past year and a half.

I'm only updating the list on the Vudu forums now.

Why?

I'd also love a list of films that were originally 5.1 theatrically and DVD and downgraded to stereo on Vudu.


They also promote 7.1 yet so many titles available in true 7.1 are just 5.1 there.

Yeah, why is that? I can completely understand paying more regular attention to the list there, but a copy and paste every now and then here would be pretty easy and greatly appreciated.

Just updated it now.

A couple movies start out 2.40:1 so that the opening credits aren't cut off. Then switch to 16x9 after the credits. I know that it happens on both Raiders of the Lost Ark and Kelly's Heroes. I'm not sure about Temple of Doom.

If you have a Roku, you can scan past the 2-minute preview. Just push FF or use the right-directional button. I always check before buying. This might also work on other devices, but I haven't tried.

That trick also helps to determine if a movie is the Theatrical or Unrated cut. Sometimes the listings don't have the correct info. So I check out Movie-Censorship.com, then scan forward to see if those scenes are intact.
