Funny this is being mentioned here. Based on the "plot twists" thread in the "Movies" section, I took this DVD to my relatives for the weekend, since they have a widescreen television. (Like many of you, this is the only time I bought a MAR'd film on DVD because as bad as MAR is, open matte atleast allows me to see the film as intended (if I apply mattes), whereas pan-and-scan doesn't.
Anyway, on my brother-in-law's television, I actually got exctied to see the film zoomed to an AR of 1.78:1 and I immediately noticed how much more "composed" the whole film looks over the open-matte version.
Sad that Universal hasn't treated this title with better respect.
