Seems like just one guy constantly upping his bid. Can you tell if the image is cropped at all?

I didn’t think it’d be this wide, but …

green border = Blu-ray
yellow border = expanded 16mm

Too bad I couldn’t find a laserdisc letterbox cap of this, which I’d estimate would be somewhere in between these two.

.

BTW, in my search, I came across this title of a YouTube video:

FORBIDDEN PLANET - Capt Adams gets nude Altaira then burns her best cat friend alive!.HD

Must be a different Forbidden Planet …

.

AND, could this be a long lost concept picture of Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek?

Star Trek owes a hell of a lot to this movie. There are more than a few similarities

The 16mm has a sliver more image top and bottom, very interesting.

Yes, I see this happen to allot of movies. I once tried a Forbidden Planet releases compare and it was just like this compare (I thought it was LD-to-DVD but couldn’t find the LD cap online; maybe it was an MGM-to-WB DVD compare).

After doing much research, I think the Criterion may be the Perspecta mix and the MGM is the four track magnetic.
Perspecta was a mono system designed to be the poor mans magnetic and could derive two front channels out of the single optical track for a center focused LCR in the front of house. I saw a screening of Hidden Fortress this way recently and it seems rather like the FP mix. This film is reputed to have the best Perspecta mix of all.
In other words imagine matrix versus discrete audio and you start to get the idea.
