You are a very frustrating individuel. Its like you only read what you want to hear. I just said I did the test and it is soft matted. I didn't hear it from anyone I tested it myself.


Sorry, bud. T3 was indeed filmed in Super35 and framed in Scope.

As to the DVD issue, well, after looking over it, I'm going to have to say the director simply reframed the DVD version for his own personal reasons. Fincher did the same thing with Se7en.

So you'd take the 1.33:1 AR if the movie was soft matted? Showing more isn't always the best choice. It's whatever the director prefers. In A Fish Called Wanda, one of the films greatest jokes is totally ruined by opening the mattes for the fullscreen version. You call that better?

That's nothing compared to these...

911 days separated the September 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. and the 2004 train bombings in Madrid, Spain.

The winning numbers in a New York state lottery drawing on 11 September 2002 were 9-1-1.

The date of the attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11
September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11
After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year.
Twin Towers - standing side by side, looks like the number 11
The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11
But ....There's More.......
State of New York - The 11th State added to the Union
New York City - 11 Letters
Afghanistan - 11 Letters
The Pentagon - 11 Letters
Ramzi Yousef - 11 Letters (convicted of orchestrating the attack on the WTC in 1993)
Flight 175 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11

Not that this all means anything, just some interesting numbers.

The OAR is whatever the filmmaker wished his film to be presented in. In this case it is the 2.35:1 version. It doesn't matter if the fullscreen version has more information. Coppola cut down Apocalypse Now from 2.35:1 to 1.85:1 for framing purposes.

And it was my understanding that T3 was shot in Super 35, not hard matted from 1.33:1. Anyone know for sure?

Imagine Star Wars rated R. You can't tell me that would be a good idea!


I wouldn't like an R rated Star Wars. But this is Alien and Predator. Two R rated franchise. The PG-13 rating for Alien versus Predator is insane. I also read that the movie was planned and filmed as an R rated picture. Some mother fuckers at the studio cut his movie down to make it a more family friendly movie. I hope we get an R rated directers cut for the DVD.


I know, after seeing the trailers for this I'm surprised Disney didn't jump all over this. The perfect movie to take your kids to!

One of the guys I worked with at CVS was buying the fullscreen version of T3 and I told him that you can see more of the picture in a widescreen version than in a fullscreen. He's like, "What are you talking about, the picture is smaller." Of course when your talking about a film shot on super 35, the fullscreen gives you more of the shot horizontally and the widescreen version vertically. In most cases though, you lose a good 35 percent of your image in a fullscreen version of a movie.


Terminator 3 was the only movie I ever bought a fullscreen DVD over a widescreen one. Fullscreen is better for that movie. There are exceptions to every rule. Click Here. Still Widescreen is definutly best for the first movie. I also think I speak for everyone in saying I never want to see a fullscreen Star Wars movie again.


The funny thing is the screenshot shows that the horizontal resolution has increased in the widescreen version.

Pornos for one. Often times when we have a Director's Cut or "Unrated Cut" that cut is either

A) A version that was simply too long for theaters (IE Dances With Wolves)
B) A version that had too much violence/sex to be considered for R (IE American Pie movies)

Filmmakers don't like to give their movies an NC-17 rating. It basically cuts down on a huge amount of profits.

Some films that have been released as NC-17 (or it's older rating, X) are Midnight Cowboy (which was re-rated to R) and A Clockwork Orange (also re-rated an R).

Both formats use the same lasers and same video quality. So my guess is that they will enventually release a player compatible with both formats. The formats will launch incompatible. Recently they have released Players that play both DVD-A and SA-CD.


Same video quality? You mean the same codecs?
