GJH Rating: - Magnificent restorationHow the West was Won finally gets the treatment it deserves. For years we have had to watch a third of the picture on our 25" television sets with the old pan and scan trick. Later released on dvd it still was a far cry from the original aspect ratio of 2.89 to 1. Now we can watch it in the "smilebox" version which closely replicates the curve of the Cinerama screen giving us a pretty good idea of how the movie was meant to be seen. The only drawback is that the smilebox version is available only on the blu ray version as an alternative to the letterbox version which looks long and skinny when shown as a "flat" picture at the 2.89 to 1 aspect ratio. The color and the sharpness are amazing and they were able to remove most of the join lines between the panels. As an added bonus the Cinerama Adventure is in itself a wonderful documentary which will enhance your appreciation of the work that went in to developing this motion picture process. Rating: - How the West Was WonBeautiful restoration. The first time i bought this on DVD, they didn't even bother syncing the 3 cameras together. I couldn't believe they were actually charging money for it. But the blu-ray version is amazing. Rating: - Smilebox formatWhat a brilliant idea.This format totally re-creates the feeling you had when you saw the film in the theater. Well not exactly.more like if you were farther back in the theater.(I was always one of those nuts that sat down front)Watching the flat version although beautifully restored and in Blu-Ray,is kinda hard to watch.Especially when people on either side of the screen are having a conversation.In this new format,they actually look like they are looking at each other instead of looking all over the place. The forward moving action scenes really shine this way.Its a whole new way of looking at this film. Wouldn't it be great if they could restore all the Cinerama films thisway.At least we have the very well produced documentary that is included.I have a 52" HiDef screen and it really made watching the film an incredible experince. Rating: - GreatWoW! True color and watching in Blu ray is so much better. Great Movie, with lots of stars. Love it |
