Yesterday I was promising how I would upload my annual widescreen/fullscreen comparison of The Two Towers once my video card is fixed. And today I discover that with the latest copy of WinDVD I can avoid a lot of the “green curtain” Matrix-like anomalies I was getting with ATI’s DVD player…which means I am able to present my comparison after all. (And which also means this entry cost me seventy bucks to make!)WinDVD’s screen grabs are also nicer with this new version, so I chose to present the comparison on its own page. The screen grabs are also rather large, but considering Andrew Lesnie’s great cinematography and the awesome work of Weta Digital I just couldn’t bring myself to compress the JPEGs too much.
Here it is, my Two Towers widescreen/fullscreen comparison (seeing as the full-screen DVD is not quite so dismissible as the DVD websites might have you think).
My original Fellowship of the Ring comparison can be seen here.
