Blade Runner 2049 Imax Blu Ray ((install)) -

It doesn't matter. The 1.90:1 sequences on this 4K disc are not a crop; they are an un-crop . You are seeing more of the original sensor. Because Deakins protected the frame, there is no awkward headroom. It feels less like a gimmick and more like a window being opened.

When K’s spinner flies over the sea wall, the standard version crops the image to a rectangle. The IMAX version allows the water to fill your periphery. For a film so reliant on scale and isolation, losing that 30% of vertical image is a crime. The IMAX Blu-ray corrects that oversight. blade runner 2049 imax blu ray
