← Back to context Comment by Svoka 6 hours ago Can someone explain why they don't just add black bars on the side and show in filmed format? 3 comments Svoka Reply kylecazar 6 hours ago They do. They show it in regular theaters (I saw it yesterday in one and was underwhelmed but that's another story).You do lose a lot of the picture as it was intended to be viewed by the director, of course. But closest IMAX was too far. Svoka 2 hours ago Why don't they letterbox it?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letterboxing_(filming)
