Can you or someone else say anything on the aspect ratio? 1.78:1 or 2.00:1.

Above guy in video says 1.78:1. Think he just looked at the backcover or didn't notice the black bars....

I have not played the disc but I can spot check it later on this evening, and report back.

Definitely not 2.00:1.
Actually seemed more 1.85:1, but I guess 1.78:1 would be correct.
Now I only watched the opening credits and a few seconds of the very first scene. I'm not sure if the AR changes after that? But I would suspect it wouldn't.

1.78:1 it is then.

Since this screener arrived late, I've only had a chance for a brief look, but the image is certainly not 1.78:1, and it isn't 1.85:1 either. I'll take exact measurements when I have time.

Well in that case, I have faith it will be OAR. 2.00:1.

@Rickah88, if you are not familiar with aspect ratios:

I am familiar, which is why I didn't think it looked 1.78. I wasn't on my set but on a coworker's 50" screen, using a string and with no tape measure, approximated 23/43, which comes out to around 1.85.
