  In the INTERSTELLAR movie they switch to IMAX when there are scenes from space and the ship.

  There is no 4.3 AR, it&apos;s 4:3 which is, as you stated correctly, 1.33. Also, 4096x2160 is not 16:9, it&apos;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdPsyLtlamM&amp;t=1150">19:10</a>, aka 4K. Cut away 256 pixels and you get 16:9 (mostly consumer) UHD. Also, regarding 35 mm film stock, most prints with anamorphic projection were vertical pulldown, opposed to what was shown in your animation.

  I love that scene in Pirates of the Caribbean where the ghost pirates are marching under water toward a ship and the film makers used the black bottom of the ship and it&apos;s shadow on the ground to to widen the aspect ratio and make the scene feel more epic, and then let the pirates walk through the shadow, appearing to step out of the screen! Gosh, that was so creative!

  I love how in 2015 we got the hateful eight, a movie shot in 2:76:1 super wide screen because its an old timey movie and that&apos;s an old timey format. Then in 2019 we got the lighthouse which was shot in black and white on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdPsyLtlamM&amp;t=79">1:19</a>:1 which is super narrow almost tall, also because they wanted to get an old fashioned look. Both films wanted an old look but used completely different aspect ratios to do it.

  I never really realized catching fire&apos;s aspect ratio changed. Never something I actually noticed, but it&apos;s effect for the movie really did work.
