Sorry, I misread your meaning. Yes, it is quite absurd, and many people have no idea of the difference between CROPPED aspect ratio and simply WRONG aspect ratio (ie: skinnied, fattied, squashed, etc.) See, for example, another post on this page.
Which still leaves open the question: Has this release been cropped, or is it simply unmatted???? You never can tell with these R5's or 16:9 screeners of movies that claim a 2:35 WS theatre ratio. And it can get even more interesting. Mongol, for example, was released in a 16:9 R5 and a 2.35:1 retail. When I compared them, I found that the 16:9 was slightly side cropped, but unmatted for most of its vertical size. So you got MORE on the top and bottom, and LESS on the sides.
