Author Topic: Star Wars: The Last Jedi...No 1.43 Scenes? Aron Toplitsky Expert Film Handler Posts: 113 From: Gardena, CA, USA Registered: May 2012 posted 01-05-2018 08:27 PM                     I understand the 15/70 print and the IMAX digital version do not contain the aspect ratio shifts? Can someone confirm this? Didn't they shoot some scenes in IMAX 65MM?  |  IP: Logged Frederick Lanoy Film Handler Posts: 88 From: North of France Registered: Aug 2009 posted 01-05-2018 10:22 PM                     I saw it in IMAX Laser on a 1.43 aspect ratio screen. The movie is all in 2.39. Constant aspect ratio. I have noticed though that some scenes looked sharper.  |  IP: Logged Tyler Purcell Expert Film Handler Posts: 180 From: Van Nuys, CA Registered: Dec 2015 posted 01-08-2018 01:59 AM                        I think they had to do so many re-shoots, they lost the ability to create full IMAX scenes, so they didn't bother. That's just a guess, but it seems to fit their explanation of not feeling it was worth changing aspect ratios for those scenes.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 01-13-2018 10:33 AM                     Or maybe he was the first director to find out that constantly changing aspect ratios is batshit braindead?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
