I find watching BvS on home release so annoying considering the IMAX cut was never released and the movie looks so bad in wide screen.
I know Snyder didn't film the whole movie in IMAX but I am pretty sure the raw footage of the movie is full screen (just like when you watch B-ROLL footage on youtube it's always full screen depending what kind of cameras they film).
Anyway my point: full screen is so much better for movies. Some annoy me like this one with how large the black bars are compared to other movies. Anyone seen Days of Thunder on DVD? Due to the aspect ratio when converted to DVD: the black bars are even wider on top to bottom and thus the wide screen is so small.

Here is an example of raw footage

I wish they'd release the 1.9:1 version for home media more often. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was released like this and it looks nice. Really don't see why they don't always release the the bigger one and just throw on a letterbox filter option for people who want the 21:9

I still can't believe there are people who think Wide Screen is where you see more. Well there are VHS tapes that were cropped to be full screen BUT the raw footage of all film I am sure isn't wide screen.
3.00 is how BvS feels to me. I found it so hard to rewatch when I bought the Blu Ray

I got this from a youtube video. Left is full IMAX while right is cropped probably for release.
On my DVD version of The Dark Knight, I get the full frame version of the IMAX scenes although it does have some black bars on the side and yet on the Blu Ray release: the full frame version was never released. Instead they cropped it.

On my bluray copy the 6 or so scenes filmed in imax are in 16:9

Thank you to Jared Leto for posting this image on his insta and proving my point.
The raw footage is full screen and this look so much better than shitty wide screen.

there is nothing inherently wrong or right with any aspect ratio. but there is something wrong in changing it to something new. just leave it as the director intended.

>just leave it as the director intended.
You mean cinematographer right? Director isn't responsible for camera set up

Reminder that we're slowly "advancing" back to 4:3 aspect ratio.

Cinematographer is primarily in charge of lighting the film and exposing it correctly.
Lens selection, framing, blocking, etc is all part of the director's job since it's their vision the different departments are trying to put on film.
Do you even know what a director's viewfinder is?
