Wasn't the 2011 Blu transfer cropped too? I've seen a comparison where the LD has more info on the top and sides:
Though apparently, the first pressings of the LD were ALSO cropped on all 4 sides, and it was called out by Video Watchdog. I believe that was what exposed "zoomboxing" to videophiles?
Also, the images of the 3D Blu-ray look very dim. I saw a 2D screening at a theater yesterday, and it looked much brighter than these screenshots.
