    I usually check IMDB for correct aspect ratios. According to that site, Splendor in the Grass has a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. So if the Vudu copy is correct it will probably fill the entire television screen with no bars.

    Hope that helps.

    Fatal Attraction (HDX) still is 1.33:1 and the image is horizontally squished on Vudu. IMDB specifies 1.85:1 for this movie.

    My question is why are they doing this? The aspect ratios are just as important as the picture quality. What are they trying to do cropping the prints,trying to satisfy some 20 year old nit-wit with an xbox?

You guys have been super helpful over this period of time, thank you so much.

    Alas, it is also unfortunate that only a handful of the titles have actually been fixed over these 4 years. This aspect ratio problem is really one of the few big flaws to using Vudu over a Blu-ray or DVD.

    It's about time they corrected Planet of the Apes!
    It was wrong for a very long time.

    Checked List to Mine - Some Corrections -

    First thanks for the Thread. I wish I found this thread before spending 100's on VUDU adding my Discs via D to D. I just added "The Devil's Advocate" and started to watch it on VUDU and noticed intermediately it was cropped! I went back to my DVD version of the film which looked so much better than the supposed VUDU HDX cropped version. When I found this I started to look for information on AR and VUDU. I found this thread and now see many of the movies I have added to VUDU are not in the proper AR! This is unacceptable. I will NEVER watch a movie if it is cropped and not the OAR. This means I will continue to only watch my Discs. I have over 500 movies on VUDU now and was continuing to add more when I found this. Now I will have to check all my movies!

    So far I have confirmed the following VUDU HDX movies are the wrong aspect ratio.

    Demolition Man
    Ben-Hur - Correct for beginning then goes Pan and Scan - Really
    The Devil's Advocate
    Soldier
    The Last Boy Scott
    300
    Absolute Power
    Drive
    Die Hard 2
    Green Lantern (Theatrical Cut) Also noticed my Extended Version Did Not Get Uploaded as Such
    Resident Evil: Retribution - Correct AR through Credits
    Unknown

    A date of the last check added to the list might be useful so we know how long movies have been on this list.

    Movies checked which seem to be corrected:

    The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (Extended Edition) Checked due to 3D version being listed.
    Congo
    The Conspiracy Theory - HDX Correct Confirmed
    Planet of the Apes - 2001 - HDX version Correct Confirmed
    Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves 1991 - (Extended Version)- HDX Version Confirmed Correct - Guessing this matches to the Robin Hood (1991) on the list.
    Lethal Weapon 3 - HDX Confirmed correct
    Last Action Hero - HDX Confirmed correct
    The Fifth Element - HDX Confirmed correct

    Hope this helps.
