Crank blu-ray aspect ratio

[SomaXD]

Picked up Crank last night (my personal favorite movie EVER lol).
On the box it says its formatted in 2.35:1 (black bars on top and bottom mode)
I popped it in and its full screen 1.85:1 or whatever full 16:9 widescreen hdtv mode is(no black bars)

Is it just a misprint on the box? different versions of the movie?

I also bought the movie yesterday (love it)!

My version was also full screen, but I was too excited to read the back of the case/box. Maybe there is a setting you can change, because I do think it is one of the more enhanced Blu-Rays on the market (i.e. extra settings/features)

your tv might pan and scan, does it look odd? If that's not it, it could just be cutting off the sides, and that is also fixable, but.. i would actually need your remote to show you, sooo.. lol.

LOL I hate it when excitement gets the better of me. Ill pick up the movie over the weekend.

Weird. The website says the Blu-ray is 16x9 which it sounds like it is. Maybe someone forgot to copy/paste the correct info. More and more errors like this are everywhere. Does anyone take pride in their work anymore?

dude this movie is the best. how much did you guys pay for the movie?

[SomaXD]

$29.99
i have a circuit city card so i just charge it.. lol meh.
no my tv doesnt pan and scan . pan/scan is for 4:3 tv sets. Also the tv isnt "in zoomed mode or 4:3 mode" im absolutely sure its just a misprint... i popped in the descent (also listed on the box as 2.35:1, as well as a fellow lionsgate release) and sure enough, i get the black bars, swapped the movies a few times and i get the same results... so for the record:
Crank is full screen 16:9 .

I paid 24.99 at BestBuy for my movie...

It is also cheap off amazon.com if you buy it with another movie! (i.e. The Prestige)

Its just probably just an error on the print on the box...

I ordered it from Amazon.ca (for $27.99 CND pre order) but it has not shipped yet
