The DCP version looked better than the 3D BD screenshots look, especially in 2D with no glasses on. Yes, the color timing was different, but in a darkened theater my eyes adjusted better than looking at them on a monitor. And without glasses, it looked nice and bright. Why do the framegrabs from the home version so dark and dim in comparison?

And as I said before, the 2011 BD was also cropped. In fact, looking at DVDBeaver's comparison of the R1 DVD, Superbit DVD and 2011 BD, the framing of the DVDs only showed a tiny bit more picture info than the BD. From the previous comparison I found, the laserdiscs showed more on the top, left and right, but a little less on the bottom.

In both the DVD version and the 3D screenings I saw, the Mr. DNA cartoon has parts where things look shifted up. When he says "a blueprint for building a living thing", the brachiosaur outline's head is very close to the top of frame, and there's blank space underneath. (In 2 out of 3 of the 3D theatrical screenings I recently attended, the projection was framed such that the head was partially cropped off!)
