Here’s how to make sure your local theater is showing movies correctly:
, so here’s the short short version. Most movies are projected in two different formats: “Flat,” or 1.85:1 , and “scope,” or 2.39:1 . Projecting both on a single screen means adjusting its dimensions through the use of “masking”; shrinking or expanding the top and bottom or sides to fit the image. Increasingly, though, some theaters aren’t bothering to mask their screens. Some theaters are even installing what are called “floating screens,” which have no masking at all.
The reasons why this is bad are outlined in my earlier post. With proper masking, Louis says, you should feel like you’re “looking out a window.” Electronic masking is not the same; the black bars aren’t true black, and they still give off a little bit of light and illuminate those parts of the screen. That’s less like looking out a window than looking at a really big Blu-ray.
Ever felt eye strain or fatigue during a 3D movie? Odds are that’s the projection’s fault, not the film or 3D conversion itself. This problem is most commonly caused by a slight difference in the light levels of the two different images. If the levels aren’t properly calibrated, and one eye is brighter than the other, your brain will try to compensate for the discrepancy, hence eye strain.
