But with 33% LESS RESOLUTION than all of your anamorphic DVDs
Some people amaze me. Anamorphic DVD's have 25% more resolution. But then again, Someone on the HTF claims to own a 35mm print, but it's supposed to be in such a bad shape, they are contemplating tossing it out!

2.35:1 has approximately 326 lines PAL, and 432 lines for Anamorphic PAL (25% more).
But then again... Anamorphic NTSC has 365 lines (11% more then non-anamorphic PAL).
You can confirm this yourself:

Now I know the framing is slightly different, and that PAL is resized from NTSC resolution - but hey that's how the cookie crumbles.
Thus I conclude that this release has 11% less resolution then about half of my 2.35:1 anamorphic DVD's.
