First, a history lesson. When Rango slithered into theaters in 2011, it was presented in a specific 2.35:1 aspect ratio (Scope). This is the director’s intended framing. However, when Paramount released the Blu-ray and streaming versions, they often utilized the same scope transfer.
The "Theatrical Cut" specified here refers not to the content (there are no deleted scenes re-inserted), but to the aspect ratio. This encode specifically uses the Open Matte version. Open Matte occurs when a film shot on Super 35 or digitally with a protected frame is opened up to 1.78:1 (16:9) . This reveals more image on the top and bottom that was cropped out of the theatrical version. First, a history lesson
For Rango, the Open Matte version is revelatory. You see more of the dusty sky, more of the lizard feet scrambling over rocks, and more of the surreal, decaying beauty of the Mojave Desert. Some purists argue it ruins the composition; collectors argue it is a "lost" perspective. The file name is a checklist of perfection
