Full Frame DVD is "Open-Matte"!
You-Bet:
Update: The davecullen.com person who posted the Full (Open Matte) Frame DVD information will be posting his DVD comparison Review with screencaps this weekend. I'll post a link to his review/screencaps so we can all see the differences between Open Matte and Widescreen.
I love my Widescreen BBM DVD, so this may turn out to be a "bonus" disc for optional viewing on my standard 27 inch TV. :)

If this Open-matte thing ends up being true, I'll be buying my first "full screen" DVD.
Thanks for posting this!
According to Prieto, the reason for this was to emphasize the height of the mountains and trees, using the full power of the frame vertically.
However, I'm not really getting his logic because technically, 1.85 is no taller than 2.35, just less wide.
rt, I think Prieto did that, because the ratio 1.85:1 gives a better illusion of height, making things appear taller, don't you think?

I just ran out to buy the full screen to add to my wide screen edition so we'll see. I was just in time cuz there were only 2 left-there were many many more than that yesterday when I was in the video store.
You-Bet:
RouxB, once you've had a chance to watch the Full Frame (Open Matte) version...come back and let us know about your viewing experience.
It's interesting to note that the Full Frame BMM "seems" to be selling as well as the Widescreen version (which is rare in today's video market). I went to my local Tower store yesterday and they were completely sold out of BOTH versions and won't get another shipment till Monday. They just flew off the shelf!

Someone on LiveJournal has posted part one of an eight-part download of the full-screen captures. You are right, there is more content shown on the full-screen captures.
