I’ve only seen screen shots so far, but something looks very amiss about all these rips (irrespective of the file size)

This is supposed to be an epic sci-fi blockbuster, but all the posted images appear to look very ‘cropped’ and/or low res.

Is the film supposed to look like it only takes up half of the available screen?

    The film uses an intentionally wide aspect ratio. It also has a lot of added film grain, also intentional. But the grain messes with low bitrate rips. Grab the 20gb+ 4K Web-DL rip to get it in the best possible quality.

    I just watched a bit on popcorn time and I see what you’re talking about, but wouldn’t it be more meaningful to ask if the broadcast looked similar? It just seemed kind of “antique” in a way to me, as though it was putting you into a different time or a different dimension.

    If so it could be intentional.
