Ok i need to get this across.
This is the real WS DVD!!
What im about to say, may break the hearts of people who love WS, i know it broke mine when i found out on the T2 SE DVD.
I'll say this again, this film was shot on Super35mm.

Below is a quote from the WS Advocacy site.
quote: This process does not involve widescreen lenses, but rather it involves framing the picture to fit the ratio of the screen. The top and bottom of the frame are "matted" out and removed from the picture completely, resulting in a rectangular picture.
Super35 movies are filmed using flat lenses. Using an optical printer, the "interpositive" image is then contact-printed to produce an "internegative" anamorphic release print. As a result, an anamorphic image from a Super35 original tends to have a "gritty but sharp" look that is "harder" in a way than an anamorphic image, which has a "smooth" look.
Many movies made in Super35 are transferred to video with the top and bottom of the frame restored, so that you actually see more of the picture on video than you did in the theater. However, scenes which include special effects in them are almost always filmed hard-matted in the appropriate widescreen ratio and therefore must be subjected to the pan-and-scan process.

Sorry for the long post, but i had to get my point across that there are too many stupid kids nuking releases for AR problems when they dont have a clue about how films are made.
Firefighter, this isnt a waste of time, its just dissapointing that Sam Raimi chose to film it like this.
I'd say get this release if you want it, dont be put off by the nuke, this is how it was shown in the cinema, and how it will be on the DVD.
