Negative Positive
Title: Should be in scope
Review: Chinatown is one of the absolute best films of the 1970s, a neo-noir that is as dark and thrilling as they get. But according to the description, this edition is being released in the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. It was released in Panavision, which has a ratio of 2.40:1. This means that the sides of the image will be cropped out of the picture on both sides, reducing the image by about 25%. Sort of an anti-restoration.I wouldn't recommend buying this edition until the aspect ratio is restored to its original size.
