The Region 1 version
is not totally 'Open Matte'. You are still losing a small amount of
information on the sides of the picture as you can tell by the images
below. BUT, as you can also plainly see you get more information in the
Full-screen version that in the Region 2 widescreen ( almost 20% more
). The Region 1 is also sharper than the Region 2 DVD. For those that
have widescreen TV's they can simply zoom in and miss a little more than
when most studious anamorphisize a picture from 1.85->1.78 (approx 4%).
Both these images show some good film grain and limited Extras (none
really - aside from a trailer).
NOTE: Rickard says: Well, there sure is stuff visible that should not be seen (in the Region 1)! At 40:55, Remo starts jumping on things in the apartment, there is a rig visible in the ceiling which helps him jump! |
