Ok im still kinda new to Blu-Ray. One thing thats driving me nuts is on 2 out of my 11 discs i get a full image on my 16:9 display, on UltraViolet and The Host. Im assuming it was croped for Blu-Ray?

PS: Will Equilibrium come out on Blu-Ray?

If you want to completely fill the screen, shoose films with the 1:78:1 aspect ratio.

There's a sticky about aspect ratios here.

Most movies on high definition discs are presented in their original aspect ratio; the ones that are filling your screen are typically the ones that were originally shot at 1.78:1.
