Though i would rather it was filmed Anamorphicly for films like this, but there must still be a big market in the US for FS versions.

Yeah i agree, anything outside the 2:35:1 frame is not important to the story or the film, so isnt needed.

Ok something about this is driving me nuts being that i review dvdr of legit retails. Anamorphic WS is fairly new to DVD. Aspect Ratio and Anamorphic are NOT the same thing. All Anamorphic truly means is that with a Anamorphic print and compatible tv the image can be stretched without loss of quality to fill the entire screen. ie Anamorph your tv to fill the pic with its original Aspect Ratio without anything being Cut out. This release was a dupe and Nuke. Just wait for a true proper and a REAL Retail DVDR. However, please realize that Anamorphic is a Feature Enhancement Not the Aspect Ratio, and No worries it used to confuse the hell outta me also. End Rant!!

Not exactly, I know AR and Anamorphic aren't the same thing, but Anamorphic WS on DVD has been around for years.

Anamorphic is not a new format, it has been about for 50 years, its not a DVD thing.
Anamorphic is a way of shooting a film with special lenses that squash the filmed image onto 35mm film, the film is then stretched by the projector and projected in a nice WS ratio.
The same thing aplies to DVD but the TV stretches the image, not the Projector.

What i meant by that comment was, that i wish it was filmed with Anamorphic lenses that stretch the image to fit the whole of the 35mm film, meaning no cropping is involved.

Not too sure if ive explained this too well, please ask if what ive typed looks like bullshit
