DVD is not quite the whole movie

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2010)

I really liked the movie; it's entertaining and incredibly visually attractive, regardless of any message or politics. But - the DVD is fullscreen, which has the effect of zooming in on the picture, resulting in a significant loss of scenery and face closeups cutting off the tops of their heads. I can only imagine this is a marketing ploy, and the full theatrical screen version will be released later, so many people will end up buying two DVD's. Since there are already news articles claiming a summer re-release of the film in theaters, and another DVD release later in the year, I'm betting this is what will happen. If you haven't got the DVD yet, I'd recommend waiting for the real thing. I fell into this trap, but only once; I'll never buy another new release till I see it on screens in stores. By now, this movie should be demonstrated in every store selling TV's, so you should be able to see what I mean before buying it.
