Sad to see so many people make these mistakes with aspect ratios and believe the 16:9 has more information than the 4:3. It was shot on super 35 and if you look at the crops for 4:3 and 16:9 out of super 35, the 4:3 is much larger and has more information in the top and bottom than the sides of the 16:9, also you can see more of the characters. the 4:3 is NOT cropped from 16:9, this is a confusion, the only benefit for the 16:9 is matching lcds, the 4:3 keeps more of the original image so matching it to the full size 4:3 cgi is the right way to go. I totally understand wanting 16:9 to match the monitor, but believing it gets you more image is just false.
