Cult Labs - What Have You Bought Recently?

I watched BURIED last night,and although it was said the aspect ratio was wrong,it looked fine.

As for the film itself,I can't recommend it enough!
Gripping stuff!

It takes a real talent to keep you engrossed for ninety odd minutes with one character buried in a box! :clap:

Hitchcock would definetly have approved.....

Absolutely! Buried was one of the best films released last year in my opinion. Had the privilege of seeing it in an almost-empty cinema with a silent audience contrary to a lot of people's experiences, and was blown away by the execution of it all.

Give that man a shake! :lol:

I don't mind too much if it's opened up to reveal more picture. Was Buried filmed 2.35:1 or Super 35?

Haha. I saw the screencaps comparison and I could actually see an argument being made for the UK release adding tension by making it even more claustrophobic. Maybe whoever was in charge of the transfer at Icon was a frustrated director and took it upon himself to 'add' to the mood of the film :)

edit: Stephen - Buried was filmed 2.35:1, the dvd is 1.78:1
