I got to see the BD of this the other day and have to say the IMAX sequences are the best I've seen anything in High Def look. The clarity was truly stunning.
There's a big long thread on AVSForum complaining about EE/DNR in it, but yeah, I'm going for they're on crack. It isn't a 100% perfect transfer but it does look pretty damn fantastic.

I've just watched the Blu-ray (and the film!) for the first time. Very good film, but Christopher Nolan needs a slap in the face for the IMAX scenes. I found it seriously distracting having the aspect ratio changing every 5 minutes. Might not bother people that have seen the film before, but I really couldn't concentrate at times because of the constant switching! Must happen at least 15 times or so

Yes, I know it's not the same, but anyone familiar with comics ought to be able to adjust, IMO.

I'd say it's more annoying on a widescreen tv because you'll notice it more. In IMAX I wasn't really bothered by it because the screen was so big that I didn't really notice the ratio changes.

For me, I'd notice it more on a tv because I'll notice the black bars more, than the IMAX screen. I agree with the other member, this should have been an option.
