Oblivion looks neat, didn't know there was an imax ratio shift that major.

Is that version about? I find since hd media turned up no one rips from tv anymore

True Lies 70mm blow up, like many was 2.20:1

Yeah, in regular theaters Oblivion was constant 2.39 like the BR. In digital IMAXs it was opened up to the full 1.90 (they finished the effect for that ratio) except the dream sequences are still 2.39. The US Cinemax presentation was 1.77 for all but the dream sequences which were still 2.39 so it duplicates the IMAX presentation nicely minus maybe cropped sides.

Not sure if that version is about the net, those pics were off my DVR which I'm still trying to make a good capture of.

US pay cable channels use to show everything in OAR, something I encourage, but in the last few years they seem to have gone cropped. Its crap but it does result in some nice treats every once in a while in the form of "open matte" presentations. In fact the first Hobbit was open too.
