Stephen King's It (Blu-ray SteelBook) [France]
- Thread starter Taylor
- Start date
I must say, I'm very happy with this. Especially for the price.
New movie released on BD for the first time, full gloss finish, €12.99
Just gave the disc a spin to have a look. I was unaware this was presented in 4:3 full screen ratio and not widescreen. 
It's a TV Movie the original aspect ratio is 1.33:1Just gave the disc a spin to have a look. I was unaware this was presented in 4:3 full screen ratio and not widescreen.
Blu-ray when original aspect ratio is 1.33:1 (4:3) it will always have the black bars both sides it's different with DVD that can use Anamorphic method and fill the screen
UK DVD is 1:78 and Anamorphic
USA DVD is 1:85 and Anamorphic
I just thought it might be widescreen like The X-Files TV series Blu Ray's.
I'm glad they used the original ratio. I rather have the original ratio with black bars than a zoomed picture
I have a few Blu-rays that are locked to aspect ratio 1.33:1 especially lot of extras that was full screen on a DVD
It's a pity it's not possible with Blu-ray to be like DVD and be Anamorphic and fill the screen without picture image been cropped or zoomed to fill the screen
It's one of the features Blu-ray did not carry over from DVD
I guess. Can't have it every way I suppose.
It looks pretty good for an old TV movie.
picture quality is ok...some scenes looks great and some scenes look like a VHS rip :/
thank you for nice photos @BluSteel2012
imho i think the cover looks too harsh i wouldn't mind if inside arts become front / back while the inside should be something similar to this...

4:3 is a square. It cannot be made a rectangle. Unless you zoom in.
Anamorphic would just squeeze the image out of shape.
There is no way to make 4:3 fit a 16:9 tv without one of these distortions.
But, if you miss that feature - just use the zoom (Wide) button on the remote.
You undertand the point...I hate to be the one to say it but 4:3 is most definitely not a square.

Fair and Square point lol.
The point is:
If you are watching a movie shot 1.33 :1 on a 16:9 TV, and there are no pillar boxes on the sides of the picture - You are watching a compromised image that is incorrect.
