Here’s Deborah Snyder, his producer and wife, speaking to Decider about the decision:įrom a nuts and bolts perspective, if the intention of Zack Snyder’s Justice League is to present Zack Snyder’s Justice League, then it certainly sounds like a 4:3 option is the only option, given the film’s construction in that format from the very beginning. In fact, Snyder’s aspect ratio decision came well before it was to be a solely HBO Max release it was always his plan to achieve a consistent visual language rather than fall into this ambiguity of intent. So much of the decision to present Zack Snyder’s Justice League in 4:3 - which my math nerds will notice is a lot closer to the correct IMAX aspect ratios than other blu-ray attempts - comes from a pragmatic consistency, a goal to avoid this constant ratio switching.
Nolan, he’s not the only one using this technique for home video other IMAX-shot blockbusters like Mission: Impossible - Fallout go for it as well).
Instead, it just becomes a distracting eyesore of a technique, especially when the aspect ratios shift from shot to shot (and to be fair to Mr. Modern televisions are nice and all, but simply cannot replicate the energy that radiates when you get an IMAX screen filled to the brim. I just don’t quite think it works at home, to be frank. But by switching to a taller aspect ratio that’s in the middle of these two IMAX aspect ratios, the 1.78:1 gambit aims to give you that jaw-dropping “wow it’s the whole screen” feeling you’d get watching in an IMAX theater. Actual IMAX theaters are not presented in 1.78:1 aspect ratio depending on what kind of IMAX theater you attend, you’ll either get 1.90:1 in a digitally projected, what some might call a “fake” IMAX theater, or 1.43:1 in a laser projected, what some might call a “true” IMAX theater. This is an attempt to replicate Nolan’s preferred theatrical experience, which involves switching between IMAX-camera shot footage - rendered on home video in 1:78:1 - and 35mm-camera shot footage - rendered on home video in 2.39:1. Have you watched a Christopher Nolan film on blu-ray recently? If you’ve popped in The Dark Knight or Tenet, you may have noticed the film flip aspect ratios somewhat aggressively, sometimes from shot to shot within the same scene, from a wider 2.39:1 (bars on top and bottom) to a taller 1.78:1 (filling the entire screen).
