Note from Encoder



Encoded with a modified slow 2-Pass @ 18 MB/s. Audio tracks include the 2.0 DTS-HD MA track, a 2.0 EAC3 track, and four AC3 commentary tracks. Includes subtitles in English. This is the restored 1.85:1 aspect ratio version of the film. The movie was orginally shown in theaters using the 2.00:1 SuperScope ratio, however it was shot in 1.85:1 and then matted for the cinema release. As such this version has more frame information than was shown in theaters. There is some frame damage to the top and bottom edges depending on the scene due to the master this was restored from but it's pretty minor. Overall, I still think this version is better and more complete than the 2.00:1 version. As a side note, the source for the movie has some sticky grain that doesn't resolve well in the opening scene. This goes away pretty early but due to grain issue the opening scenes before the flashback look a bit worse than the rest of the film. This is a profile 8.1 hybrid Dolby Vision and HDR release, if you don't have a Dolby Vision display this will play in HDR. Screenshots have been tone mapped.
