The Full Screen versions of the Jurassic Park trilogy look really good, framing wise, whereas the widescreen version feels cropped; tight. Of course the VFX scenes are pan & scan in the 4:3 version because they were hard matted in the source. However, the hard matted frame was still taller than 1.78:1, maybe 1.75:1, and the 4:3 P&S of those scenes do not utilise the full vertical height of the frame which they should have to compensate for the horizontal loss.
