if this one had a two hour doc I would accept that but its just a bunch of crappy featurettes which is a damn shame considering how much money this movie made for Universal.
Universal is really dropping the ball on this and Furious 7 .
Guess I will settle with a UV digital version then since I wont pay for a lackluster package.
Most people that aren't hardcore film fans don't even listen to commentaries or watch all those extras. They watch the film and move on.

The aspect ratio was sort of strange while watching this in the theater, huh.

I'd consider myself a hardcore film fan, and I, literally, could not care less about extras or commentary. I'm a fan of the film itself. The behind the scenes stuff, the commentary saying that, "with this scene, the table wasn't supposed to be knocked over, but it happened, so we left it in," the documentary about the score... None of that interests me personally. I understand the appeal, certainly, but for me, movies have always been akin to magic. I want to be dazzled, and once I learn the "trick," I'll never quite be able to recapture that. I'll always see the mechanics behind the trick, but never truly allow myself to be astonished by the actual thing happening.

I totally agree with 100% of everything in your post.

Couldn't possibly agree more. I watch the movie and move on.

Not so. I work for a theater that does not have an imax, and we were able to project it correctly without any letterboxing or pillarboxing of the image, without any image loss, too.
You were lucky then. None of the theatres I visited projected JW correctly. In terms of a theatrical experience, if the aim was to have an image wider than 1.85:1, then it failed regarding that mission in most theatres. Because most projectionists left it running either "as is" in flat format, with all the black bars at the top-bottom and the sides, or cropped to 2.39:1. I literally had to start a quarrel with the projectionist to make him see the point.
I think 1.85:1 is better as projectionists won't screw it up in most cases. Also there isn't much difference between the two formats visually in a cinema hall.
But then they should maintain the 2.00:1 ratio for the new trilogy for the sake of continuity.

That sounds like a logic puzzle on an SAT.

Amazon don't usually do steelbooks in my experience. They have the bookends set, which seems more their bag. Maybe Target will have unique packaging.

There is a link for limited edition packaging version that doesnt include the t-shirt. This might be the steelbook

Hope it is a real steelbook & not one of those round metal tins that some places have up for pre-order.
