I noticed that today, when I watched it in my portable player (with a 16x9 screen), it started playing at like 3.2:1, so I checked the box, which said it is 16x9 enhanced, it seems to be a misprint :( I had to switch to the 4:3 mode a windowbox it

I watched this on Netflix (streaming) the other night and it was definitely in 16:9. I don't know what this says about future DVD releases.

The films true aspect ratio is 2.35:1.

However its one of those films where it goes about in many places as cropped to 1.85:1. Especially all the HD releases of it for some reason.
