I think it looks very cramped, myself. The Retromedia full-screen was worse overall, but Dark Sky's source is cropped on all four sides *then* matted top and bottom. At the very least, the thing to do would have been to present the film at 1.66.

Why would they do this? Not really a rhetorical question, but I would like to know why a company would go to the trouble of matting a cropped image? Don't they know what they're doing? Is there any monetary gain for them to be doing this? Are they and any other company that does this, think they are riding the letterbox wave? Questions, questions, questions.....! Gil
