Screens from 'Rises' using the same method.

My main complaint is the changing AR again.
Id like the consistent 2:35:1 version, with the full frame IMAX sequences as extras.
Ive found the back and forth on all these variable AR releases distracting.

The iTunes is the 2.21(was it?):1 version, including reframed IMAX shots. Personally I like the shifting ratios tho. I've always felt like this idea of fixed ratios was kind of creatively restricting.

Awesome. Does it have the Alternative shot of Alfred at the end?

I thought it was 2:35:1 or 2:40:1 myself.
Each to the own on the shifting ratio's
Would it not have been more fitting to pillerbox the IMAX sequences so we at least get the whole composition?

Edit: Interestingly, one of the IMAX shots actually shows more on the bottom in the iTunes master, compared to the UHD. Found this rather curious! Makes you wonder if they do have a 4K 4:3 master hidden away somewhere...

Sorry, when you said this I assumed you we're talking about the 16.9 crop on the IMAX scenes.
A constant AR version with reframed IMAX shots will be a completely different master.

So now we have 2 Digital Masters of the 4K remaster.
Im guessing the 10th anniversary DCP will come from the same master as the Itunes one? 4K?

I never heard anything about an alternative shot of Alfred, but I can look if you tell me what to look for?

Haha, there goes our misunderstanding!

Yeah, what I meant was indeed that the framing of the iTunes constant AR was different even to the 16:9 IMAX from the UHD and showed more on the bottom. Indicating to me that they have a master/pre-master with the intact 4:3 IMAX scenes.
