This widescreen enhanced 1.85:1 film is not terrible looking, yet it isn’t great either.

TRAUMA was shot in (and is presented in) 2.35:1. I know that the DVD case misidentifies the aspect ratio as 1.85:1, but I have to ask, how could you have not noticed that you were watching a 2.35:1 image when you viewed the disc for this review?
Also, other viewers have noted that this disc is not flagged for progressive scan playback and as such will artifact badly on many progressive DVD players and displays.

Listen my friends; there is no need to worry about waiting for a longer cut of the film. These scenes are fillers only and they don’t change the direction of the story or add more character development

I disagree. At the very least, the scene of Aura shopping in the farmer's market should never have been cut from the film.
Also, there are additional deleted scenes from the workprint that Anchor Bay had access to but didn't bother to include on this release. These include an alternate introduction to Aura, David, and Grace that's arguably the most important deleted scene of all.
