That is either the cringe-ist thing I’ve ever seen, or a comedy classic.

I never use that button, kobalt77 — because as you say, it blows up the image so it both loses resolution and cuts off part of the picture.

Yep, so unless Snyder’s ego was such that he deliberately shot the movie so it couldn’t be matted to 1.85:1 without losing essential detail (and ensuring Warnermedia never ever hires him again!)? That’s pretty much how most of us would have seen it...

Oh, I see now!

You’re dunking on all those other movies right now, while excuses for Snyder’s Opus Penguin.

No bet, Peewee!

Robot Zombies sounds fun.

It’s like a low-budget Indian horror movie I saw, where everything was shot with the Indoor Light filter on, so just about every scene looks like the lens was coated in urine.

Oh, I’m sure I could!

It’s because some Directors started out as Cinematographers, and that’s how they see the film.

Only for Incel Wannabe Edgelords.

So... Cough Whitlam is not allowed to express dislike for a project you love but he...doesn’t?

But seriously, folks — at least Snyder’s innocent of the Bad-Looking Mustache Removal, because that came about when Joss Wheden did reshoots.

It doesn’t surprise me at all — it’s the tone of some of the responses that surprised, and irritated, me.

Why not? That’s what happened to the movie originally!

Because all the films you listed were...pickups from producers who hoped for a theatrical release in ‘Scope (generally 2.35:1 to 2.4:1)? So when Netflix bought it, they could either pan&scan, or release it with letterboxes.

Don’t get on me, I watch TCM all the time, so I’m used to Academy ratio.

Except when a movie shot in IMAX is released to standard theaters (as the Theatrical Release of Justice League was), it’s standard practice to crop the frame for a 1.85:1 (regular movie “widescreen”, a bit narrow than our current televisions’ 1.77:1). Directors who shoot in IMAX know to keep their action centered in…

To defend The Snyder Cut’s decision to shot in some approximation of 4:3 — it appears that he’d originally shot the entire movie so it could be released in IMAX, which has a 1.43:1 ratio. That’s a bit wider than analog television 1.33:1 or “Academy Ratio” (what old movies were shot in) of 1.37:1, but it’s a lot closer…

You expect reason from Snyder Bros?
