So, how come Spielberg allow them to go with 2.40:1? Was he at all informed or consulted even, I wonder. I prefer consistency. They could've at least kept the 2.00:1, if not 1.85:1. But alas! This will look small on both IMAX and in TV, with huge black bars on top and bottom.
Every single movie is in scope nowadays. I absolutely hate that!

I thought 2:1 was a good aspect ratio for Jurassic World. I'm not bothered about inconsistency, I just think they should choose an aspect ratio that is appropriate to the setting and subject matter.

When you're trying to fit dinosaurs in the frame, you generally want a taller aspect ratio.

I find scope aspect ratio very effective for certain types of films, but again, for 3D, taller aspect ratios are often better. It reduces the likelihood of edge violations. Although if the filmmakers are fun enough to allow protruded elements to break outside the bars, it can be just as, if not more effective.
