WideScreen vs FullScreen

The Choice is clear, WIDESCREEN is the only way to go. Who cares if there are Black bars at the top & bottom of the screen. They are there so the widescreen image will fit in the square shape of a reguler TV.
As you can see here, FullScreen is not really full frame, it's more like half frame.

@sonofazazel

Yes, that is Leonard Nimoy the guy who played Spock

Strangely enough, Leonard Nimoy shot his next film (Three Men and a Baby) in 1.85:1.

@acceptthis01

He probably wanted to shoot in 2.35:1 but was over ruled because it's more expensive to shoot in 2.35:1

The only 2 movie he directed that were in 2.35:1 were Star Trek III and IV

He did not direct many movie but he does to a lot of still photography.

Very informative :D

That's why many directors use the Super 35 or Open Matte format to avoid that sacrifice of image information.

i noticed the bigger the more of a blockbuster hit the movie the wider the aspect ratio. like independence day or the matrix @ 2:35. compared to movies that werent expected to be as major are in 16:9.

Panned and scanned butches the integrity of the filmmaker’s original intent.

I like black bars top and bottom narrow for W/S when looking at the 35mm you see thicker rack lines top and bottom. With scope you see thinner rack lines top and bottom yet on TV they’re shown as thicker black bars top and bottom, it doesn’t bother me at all.

Its logical to have it in SCOPE 2.35:1 or blow-up for 70mm to hold 6track DOLBY STEREO® SR

I just bought a 16:9 SD camcorder and it's way better than 4:3 format. It looks more professional too! :)
