Author Topic: IS "127 Hours 1:85 or 2:35? Mike Croaro Master Film Handler Posts: 394 From: Millbrae, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 01-18-2011 09:47 PM                     Hi Folks: I keep seeing this film listed at 1:85. But I saw it and I swear it is 2:35. Looked on the internet and found it listed both ways. Thanks, Mike  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Is there a better source to find tech specs on a given movie? These tech specs on IMDb are correct and most likely sourced from the December 2010 issue of American Cinematographer. AC would be your best bet for tech specs. IMDb's data is only as reliable as the users submitting it, a good thing when the contributor(s) -- as in this case -- know what they're doing/talking about.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Yes, there is a forum specifically for that information Feature Info, Trailer Attachments & REAL Credit Offsets. The problem is, the information is only going to be on this site if we all actively contribute the information as it becomes available to us. It's not like the information is not known. quote: Darryl Spicer I played the film and it is flat. quote: Joe Redifer Yup, 1:85. See?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-19-2011 03:03 PM                        Actually my post is wrong. It's 1.85:1, not 1:85.  |  IP: Logged Mike Croaro Master Film Handler Posts: 394 From: Millbrae, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 01-19-2011 06:32 PM                     Hi Folks: Thanks for the replies....I saw it in San Francisco and my vivid recollection is that it was a scope film. I must be remembering wrong.
