In Reply to: Re: Harry Potter...is fullscreen really superior to the widescreen DVD? posted by michael w on May 28, 2002 at 04:01:25:
I bought the full screen version this morning (for our miniscule 32" 4:3 TV) before having seen this thread & your post. My wife and oldest son have seen the movie and read the books; I and son #2 have not. Based on the link, I am quite pleased with my selection of full screen; if the sample shots are representative of the whole movie, I'd take the full screen version about 90% of the time. I have to really want to watch a movie in 2:35:1 to go out and rent it though, so I'm a bit biased. Now if I just had that jumbo widescreen, things might be bit different.....
Follow Ups:
Hey Blake, did you get it at Future Shop, cheap? Man, they sure must have sold a shipload of them out here, place was much more crowded than usual, even for "release day". Anyway, the format choice question is almost irrelevant if you have a small 4:3 or any WS, then it's pretty obvious which to choose from a practical POV. It's trickier to decide if you have a large screen 4:3.
Hi Craig. Was there at around 10:30 a.m. and they said they'd sold 100 copies by then and there were lineups when they opened at 10. Definitely pretty busy. Agree with you about selecting the format; trickier if you've got a big 4:3 set. In looking at that link, though, it makes you wonder in this case why 1:85:1 was not used for the final widescreen print-there sure is a lot of info missing top and bottom in some of those cropped shots.
