Idea: 'Avengers - Infinity War' - IMAX Version on Russian iTunes

Not exactly IMAX ratio, cropped on the left and right.

The going theory is that it’s the left eye of the 3D version.

I spent so much time trying to get the russian imax version and when I did, it was 2.39:1. I think they removed the imax edition.

I say go for it! I’m all for preserving whatever expanded aspect ratio footage of this movie we can get, since Disney has made it clear they aren’t prioritizing releasing the proper AR for a film shot specifically for the format.

It can be found floating around the internet. You’re looking for torrents with IMAX in the title.

Eh, while the IMAX version is cool, it was more of a marketing device than the actual intended ratio. The movie was framed for 2.39:1 and was filmed in such a way as to make it IMAX-safe.

I do love the IMAX version, though.

Found a comparison of the iTunes version to the IMAX version and it does seem that a lot of information is cropped from the sides. If the IMAX ratio is on the 3D Blu-ray, then we should have rips by next week.

The information missing from the side is standard for the 3D release versions. It has to do with aligning the two eyes. This missing information is why this Russian version is assumed to be the left eye of the 3D release.

The information missing from the sides is because it’s a crop from 1.9:1 to 1.78:1

Well, for anyone that doesn’t already know, it would appear that Disney, for the time being, does NOT plan to release Infinity War for home media in any aspect ratio but good, old-fashioned 2.4:1. Not even on 3D Blu-ray, for which they’ve already released – what – six movies in alternating ARs?
