The 2.35 for me feels too cropped .
Out of curiosity - have you watched ZSJL in that format? I mean re-framed shot by shot.
I watch it either the way director intended (4:3), or the way I like (2.35:1 or something close to it - which looks pretty good, maybe except couple of shots here and there). All three ZSJL edits I made are 2.31:1.
I’ve reframed also first Avengers - in that kind of movies there’s no place for 1.78:1.Couldn’t care less for Snyder’s philosophy which he made up suddenly after doing Watchmen, MoS and BvS in 2.35:1.
it is possible to change your philosophy after some time. I’m sure if he had this mindset back then he would’ve had a more vertical frame. And yes I did see a version of the trailer with the 2.35 ratio and honestly it just didn’t work for me. Like I said it just felt too cropped in. 1.66 is still my personal choice.
