Good movie, but don't buy the Blu Ray version

Rating: 6/10 (28 March 2013)

This would have to be the most annoying blue ray movie that I have ever watched. It repeatedly flipped between full screen 16x9 mode, and letter box mode and back again. I spent half the movie thinking there was something wrong with my Blue Ray player, and was fiddling with all the options trying to fix it, obviously to no avail because it was intentional. The pin-heads who created the blue-ray must think we like to view movies through a letter box - well no, we don't! Honestly don't buy the blue-ray version - the screen size flipping will drive you nuts. (I have since learnt that the director created the movie using scenes in both IMAX format and 2.40:1 format) It's about time directors realised that more people will watch their movies on a 16:9 TV than will ever see it at the cinema. Sure it looks glorious on the big screen at the cinema, but after its run, no one will see it on such a big screen again. It will just straddle the centre of our TVs (with a black bar top and bottom) and look small and pathetic. On a lighter note, if you have surround sound, (especially with a sub-woofer) you will enjoy the sound track - it was awesome.
