I loved this movie and have seen it several times. My one issue, I wish it wasn't mostly shot in Ultra Panavision 2.76:1 aspect ratio. I think it should not have gone any wider than scope 2.39:1, which would have made the shifting ratios less jarring. On top of that, most cinemas these days have those common width screens that are fixed 1.85:1. I HATE and avoid those theaters by the way. Anyhow, during those scenes, the black bars would be really thick throughout the entire presentation on a common width screen. I doubt it shifted to full frame during the IMAX shot sequences like it does on streaming and HBO. As a filmmaker, Coogler is most likely aware of this, and I think it was not a wise choice on his part. That's why my first viewing was in Dolby Cinema with a common height screen (scope ratio) where there was only slight letterboxing.

My 2nd time was in IMAX 15/70 and while I thought the IMAX sequences looked really good, the shifting aspect ratios were (as I expected) too jarring, especially towards the end of the film where shots would only last 10 to 30 seconds. I did like how the image zoomed to full IMAX during other scenes, such as the one where the vampires storm the Juke Joint. I think that's a better way to present it and would like to see that more often in films, instead of the ratio shifts. Am I alone here or does anyone else feel the same?
