It happens all the time with 1.66:1 releases. Of course in those cases it makes perfect sense.

I'm just saying that, if you were to zoom the image to the edge of the screen, it looks like the intended aspect ratio was 2.20:1 rather 2.35:1. As to why it was windowboxed is anyone's guess. Maybe it was a misguided attempt to defeat overscan. A lot of Japanese BD's do that.
