  • Wish the restored version of Napoleon that played cinemas around 1990 would be released to DVD. With wide-screen t.v. the three screen scenes wouldn't be shrunken down to stamp size like the home video version was.

  • Wooow! Thanks a lot for posting this video. It's very interesting.

    Hi. I have to admit that I might be a bit wrong here. I have watched it in Digital 3D, which I'm pretty sure is 2.35:1. But IMAX movies I believe are in 1.85:1 aspect ratio. I just have never been to IMAX theater (shame on me). Anyway, they don't use the same technology now. They shoot with spherical lenses, but keep the ratio @ 2.35:1 ;)

  • I love CINEMASCOPE!!!!!!

  • @vdochev Lol, opps, pardon my ignorance.

  • @theinsane102 It IS in Cinemascope format and 3D. Cinemascope is just wide screen in 2.35:1 ratio - a standard format these days.

  • cinemascope inside 4:3 inside 16:9...

  • I really feel that with widescreen were missing out on the feeling of height. Like for example standing besides a skyscraper, or at the edge of a cliff. I think were missing out on taking advantage of visceral human response in many, many situations.
