I haven't seen the movie, so I'm looking for input from people who have, obviously: lots of people are referring to the Lighthouse's aspect ratio to say that it isn't unusual to have 4:3 (which is correct). But the Lighthouse is a far different movie from what I assume JL is trying to be - I felt like the aspect ratio in Lighthouse emphasized the claustrophobia and general cramped feeling of the film - everything felt very tight. But I would imagine that claustrophobia isn't exactly what you want to evoke in an action epic - it seems like you'd want more space. Can someone who's seen the movie describe how the aspect ratio affects the feeling of ZSJL, for better or worse? I'm not looking for whether it's "allowed" or whatever, lol, just whether it adds to the experience or what. e: Grand budapest has also been mentioned: also a very, very different kind of movie! smug n stuff fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Mar 18, 2021 |

Zack Snyder posted:“I think she's incredible and insane and she's always said story first, not regarding her politics,” said the filmmaker. “But it was easy for her to fall victim to her own popularity, and she drank her own Kool-Aid.” I think he just digs the Fountainhead dude.

To be honest, I kinda forgot what aspect ratio it was while watching it cuz I was too busy enjoying the movie.

Look I'm not a Snyderdome guy and I do think it's kinda funny the extent to which people are taking my words as insults when I'm referring to him as an interesting director. Be less defensive yall, your guy won. I'd love to see his vision of The Fountainhead. Even if I don't love most of his movies Snyder is at the absolute minimum an interesting director with a unique voice, something that we lose more of with every new MCU chapter.

There's some kind of watch party being hosted by Snyder at 7pm ET (in about 15 minutes from when this post was submitted). I'm not really sure on the details, but it's hosted on something called Scener. Attendees need HBO Max though. Just thought I'd mention it.

I would say watch a couple scenes from both thinking about it though- actually, it appears that Whedon ends up stretching a shot rather than snipping it because it's filmed only to work in 4:3?   But you could have set it to work in 16:9 as well I assume? I don't know anything about filming movies. I don't actually know/care what's better. Maybe this one would be worse in 16:9? When the camera pans to show Aquaman.   Like I say, I don't know film and I'm not much of a smart watcher. So maybe that would look great in 16:9. People being bothered by black bars is fine IMO.

I'm on the fence on this one. Was this a better movie overall? without a doubt. Was it as entertaining as looking at superman with the ridiculous and lovely cgi removal of cavil's mustache? Now I have nothing to laugh my rear end off at.

This movie was great. Loved the score. Aquaman is how Wolverine should act in the next X-Men movie. Loved how much better Flash and Cyborg were in this one. Wonder Woman's action scenes in this were better than in WW84. Batman's character development from the last movie was continued/done well. Steppenwolf's new look was great, his armor was awesome. He felt much more like a character in this version than an end game boss. People complaining about the length should just watch chapters 1-4 as one movie and 5-epilogue as another. I'm shocked at how much I liked this. The improvement from BvS to BvS Ultimate Cut was one thing but this is one of the best director's cuts of all time. This movie will be a great educational tool to highlight the importance of directors, scores, and editing.

I really liked Steppenwolf. His design was cool and his face was surprisingly emotive for how weird it was. I especially liked his wide eyed expression when he realized that the anti-life equation was on Earth. I found it kinda hard to to accept that it would be something that Darkseid would forget though. I enjoyed the film, but would have really appreciated if it was even more "epic" (i.e. more stuff like the big battle flashback). The settings for the big fights were pretty boring - empty plains or industrial wasteland. The Smallville/Metropolis fights in MoS are much more interesting and memorable in comparison. I would also love to see more of the apocalyptic future with the ragtag band of survivors, which we would probably get to see in the alternate reality where Snyder Cut was the theatrical cut and was also miraculously successful. The Joker scene was seriously kinda disturbing because Joker's dialogues were disgusting.

Also did they know for sure the Anti-Life Equation was on Earth in the flashback? In terms of "forgetting Earth" I chalked it up to them actually relying on the Motherboxes in their universal domination strategy, so leaving them on Earth and running away shamefully might lead to them losing a lot of the Space Info they need to find planets again or whatever. But I didn't think they actually knew Anti-Life was there until Steppenwolf realized it in the present because the Motherboxes had spent time there and learned it or whatever.

2house2fly posted:I have never in my life encountered the phrase "controversial aspect ratio" until this movie I remember going to see Dunkirk at the movies and hearing people complain about the bars on the screen cause it was shot on 70mm so it was in 2.2:1 and for that to look proper on modern cinema equipment you have to manually frame the projection using a chart, which a lot of people can't be hosed to do. I think there was a lot of chatter around aspect ratio when that came out cause everyone knew it existed in like three competing aspect ratios at the same time

I feel like I’m smart enough to think that Snyder’s moral philosophy in these movies feels more Kantian than Randian but I’m not smart enough to defend that opinion at all. Welp, see you later!

Yes but it's still cutting off the top if it's not framed right and older tvs will still need a zoom function. If this movie wasn't shot so well, then I could see a complaint, but you're losing nothing with 4:3.

Well overall I really enjoyed it even with the garbage ratio. Was still really good. Watching the epilogue and I like this version a lot more. Snyder really shows off how powerful Superman is.

So it's a wider ratio than an HDTV, which is why there are black bars on the top and bottom. If you're watching a 16:9 source (like any HD cable channel, Netflix movies, any prestige television, movies, etc) on a regular 16:9 HDTV, there are no black bars anywhere. stratdax fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Mar 19, 2021 |
