I agree with you, but from all indications it's zoomed in and not open matte. Mister Lime has not indicated either way and by Kino stating its 1.33:1, it more than likely is zoomed in for television showings. If it was open matte they would be using the ratio of 1.37:1 as was the standard since the early 30's. I'll just wait for the reviews to see.Mark-P said:If it is not zoomed, but simply open-matte, then I wouldn't consider that botched. No more than I would consider the purchase of an unmatted film print to be botched. Why? Because I have the ability to project the image matted to any ratio that I so choose. Others may not have that ability, so for them it can be no OAR no sale.
