Hi kk650. Would a simple top/bottom crop of your release be accurate to what I've seen in a theater (2D 2:35.1)? I really hate shifting aspect ratios. :/

Hi Feallan, in terms of colour I believe so yes, the 2D release has a blanket green tint that I imagine wasn't there theatrically.

In terms of showing the whole width of the frame no, I imagine the 2D is more accurate because it doesn't have the left sidebar cropped at any time.

In terms of correct composition/framing of shots, I don't know, depends on if they always cropped the IMAX shots the same with each shot to get the framing of the 2:35.1 shots.

If I just wanted to watch the film in 2:35.1, i'd personally watch my regraded 2D guardians of the galaxy release to remove all doubt about the framing and enjoy the extra info on the left of the frame. Like the IMAX release it can also be found on tehparadox.
