    This one should be a good one. Hoping for OAR but knowing it is HBO I will not expect it.

    I am seeing more details than the DVD. I haven't watched the DVD for a long time but I will put it on once this is over and compare. Just looking at their faces, you can see all the details... How does it compare to DVD? preliminary report --- better than DVD but wished it was OAR.

    OK. I thought 16X9 was OAR for movies. Are you guys saying that if it were OAR, there would be back bars? On top and bottom or on the sides? How do you know it's not OAR

    some movies are shot in an aspect ratio of 1:85 which will fill a 16x9 screen, and others are filmed wider in 2:35 which will have black bars on top and bottom. And yes if it were in it's original 2:35 aspect ratio, it would look much cleaner!

    one of the things i like about this forum is the honest opinions. Over on AVS people instantly say that it doesnt look any better than the DVD anytime a movie isnt OAR. Right now they are saying "Im not impressed" with this movie. One would have to be blind not to see the increased detail in this HD movie compared to the DVD. I agree it would be better OAR, well, depending on my mood. sometimes a screen full of HD is kind of nice if you ask me.
