I've only seen screen shots so far, but something looks very amiss about all these rips (irrespective of the file size)

This is supposed to be an epic sci-fi blockbuster, but all the posted images appear to look very 'cropped' and/or low res.

Is the film supposed to look like it only takes up half of the available screen?

Lol, you know you're getting old when other people start questioning cinema aspect ratios.

Gareth Edwards just seems like a fan of ultra wide formats, Rogue One was shot in a 2.76:1 format before being cropped slightly to 2.39:1 for release.

As much as I love that a lot of movies have been coming out in taller formats, which look great at home on our 16:9 TVs, there's something special about the wider formats, at least when you see them on a suitably large screen at a proper theatre.
