I haven't seen Nope but I can't understand the Peele hype. Get Out was very good but Us was pretty average. Could be the new M Night Shyamalan.
This was the same in the Islington Vue. Very odd.I liked this film but Cineworld Glasgow's "Superscreen" nearly ruined the experience for me. They hadn't formatted the image for the larger screen so it was a smaller rectangle in the middle of the screen. Like watching 1080p on a 4K TV without upscaling. I asked them to zoom it but they obviously didn't know how. Sound was good though. I'm looking forward to watching this again on my OLED.
Hmm - interesting point - I wonder if it got bigger for the "Imax" scenes. Didn't notice but I'm assuming that would be any shot where they're looking at the sky.Same issue at my local Everyman, I don't know if the aspect ratio changed throughout but when it started it hadn't been formatted to fill the screen, empty space top and bottom.

Edit - seems not:
Unless I'm missing something, it seems like it was Cineworld's fault for framing the film incorrectly on a scope screen?
Yikes! I'm glad I saw it on an IMAX screen in that case.Yes and no. It's been sent to them in a 1:85:1 container so they would need a projectionist fixing it for every showing and I think it's all automated now. I don't think the guy at the til knew what to do as I asked him to fix it and it remained the same for the rest of the film. So I guess it's the fault of both parties. I was wanting up into the projection room to zoom it myself lol.

This is the advantage of IMAX tickets only costing me a fiver.I thought about seeing it in the IMAX but I'm a Cineworld card holder and Superscreen is only £2.50. The nearest IMAX to me is £17-18 and I didn't want to pay that for a film I wasn't sure I would like.

That said, I would absolutely have paid premium for the 1.43:1 experience if the BFI IMAX had upgraded their projector by now (due later this year).
No, you're not alone. There are at least half a dozen of you .I must be the only person who thought US was better than Get Out.
