wrong aspect ratio?


I could have swoen that one of the complaints for the otherwise nice US shriekshow/media blasters dvd was that they used the wrong aspect ratio and have the film in 1:85:1 instead of 2:35:1. Is there any truth to this (that the film was indeed shot at 2:35:1) ?

I've never heard that before and IMDb lists the film's aspect ratio as 1.85:1. I don't know that it wasn't originally shot at a higher aspect ratio, but I've never seen or heard anything to make me think that it was.

I saw this projected at a cinema in Rome upon its original release. It wasn't 2:35:1 then. So I assume the correct ratio is around 1:85:1 or there abouts.

The US Media Blasters dvd looks fine aspect ratio wise to me.
