So I remembered watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes in 2.35:1 ratio at the theater. I saw it available on netflix streaming last night and put it on my 2.35:1 big screen only to find it had been cropped to 16x9 - WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS??.....
I went to bluray.com and grabbed a screenshot and matched it to the exact frame on netflix to compare them and I was pretty surprised and how different they were. In fact there is some how more image on the right & upper part of the netflix image vs the bluray (Notice there is an entire 3rd row of people in the background on netflix). It makes me wonder where they get their source from???
Here's the result (I resized them from 1920 wide to 960 for easier viewing:
