why was Agent Cody Banks 2 in shot in widescreen instead in fullscreen?


I want to know why cody banks 2 shot in widescreen instead of fullscreen like the 1 movie, it was kinda of weird and stupid to have the second movie shown in widescreen, it would have been better in fullscreen than in widescreen.

Both movies were shot in widescreen for theatre release. Check what dvd's you buy.

I have the dvd version and its both shown in fullscreen and widescreen. But why is the VHS version shown in widescreen instead of fullscreen, that is why I asked.

Because full screen sucks.

Fullscreen more than likely cuts off a good 25% of what the director actually shot. When TV's were invented they were made with a very square aspect ratio, but as film progressed images were shot in a wide aspect ratio. Perhaps to give the illusion of a panoramic point of view. The art form is so classic and useful that it's crossed into home entertainment. That's why you hardly ever see a 50-inch square-ish TV set nowadays. Everything that's big is being accomodated to fit a wider aspect ratio.



P.S. Full Screen sucks.
