Now I know it was shot in standard def, BUT it was projected in theatres on giant screens... so how come no one said it looked awful in the theatres? And surely it benefited SOMEWHAT from the higher bandwidth of Blu ray ? Surely Blu ray gives us closer to the cinema look than the DVD release did?

yea, It was shot in 576 (i think). It looks marginally better than the DVD, but most comments are made when comparing it to a normal Blu-ray, it won't look all that great (say 28 weeks later for a more direct example).

What this disc really benefits from is HD audio. If you have a setup that can handle the HD codecs, you will notice a difference in the that aspect of the film.
