Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy,
the crew of the colony ship 'Covenant' discovers what is thought to be an uncharted paradise,
but is actually a dark,
dangerous world—which has a sole inhabitant: the 'synthetic',
David, survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.

---
Made using Amazon Open Matte 1080p WEB-DL (16:9) and BluRay 1080p (2.40:1).
I use open matte scenes that fill the screen by adding info on the top and bottom while losing some info on the sides.

If you prefer the widescreen image over the open matte there's plenty of versions out there but I personally prefer a fuller screen image.
There are several instances where the open matte is simply a zoomed image of the BluRay and in those cases I use the BluRay instead.

As for the other scenes the open matte is essentially the IMAX version as it opens up the image compared to the BluRay.
