Default Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray

Amazon lists the new Dragon Ball Z movie coming out on Blu-ray as having a 1.33:1 Aspect Ratio. However, this is just a pre-order as it is not coming out till Nov. 13. Can amazon be wrong? Are they ever wrong when it comes to the specs of Blu-ray releases? I was looking forward to this release but I do not want burn-in from the pillars on the left and right. Unfortunatley until OLEDs come out, 1.33:1 is just not an option for me. So could amazon be wrong?

If it's the TV show I don't think it was ever shot in HD, sorry Amazon is probably correct.

1.33:1 is OAR for all of DBZ. Maybe 1.66:1. Virtually all anime before the last few years is 1.33:1, except for theatrical films. Roadshow "movies" like the DBZ and Sailor Moon ones were always 1.33:1

However I'm sure that they've matted it down to 1.85:1

thats wrong about amazon because it says on my dragon ball z link on my url when you click on it that it says about it coming in a widescreen form but knowing Funimation it will be anamorphic widescreen so if you want to see it in full screen you could if not then just watch Broly in widescreen thats up to you. I hope it will come with previews for more anime from Funimation that will be on Blu-Ray like maybe Fruits Basket, Moon Phase, Trinity Blood, Samurai 7, Fullmetal Alchemist, or something cool like that

The remastered dvd boxsets are in 16:9, so I would figure the Broly movies are the same.

OAR for the Broly movies is 1.85:1, so it shouldn't be 1.33:1. Amazon is most likely incorrect. Color me skeptical about the so-called remastering however, judging by how badly they handled the TV episodes.

EDIT: I'm trying to see if I can get some kind of official confirmation either way.

MOONPHASE, since you seem to know about this upcoming Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray release, if you happen to see a review somewhere before it comes out plz let me know. I know blockbuster wont get it and the only way I can see it is if I buy it, but I dont wanna spend 30 bucks on a bad lookin Blu-ray.

I tried to send you a PM but it says you requested not to recieve those.
