The 2012 James Bond film, Skyfall, was a highly anticipated release that received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. While some praised the movie's direction, execution, and script, others were disappointed by its flat and lifeless quality. In hindsight, it is easy to see why this may have been the case.

One of the main issues with Skyfall was its decision not to shoot on film. Instead, the movie was captured digitally, which led to a distinct lack of depth and texture in the final product. This is evident even when comparing the 2:40:1 aspect ratio version with the IMAX version that was shown in theaters.

Many fans were disappointed by the lack of an IMAX option on the Blu-ray and DVD releases of Skyfall. However, there have been reports of a 16:9 aspect ratio version being available for streaming purposes. This may be the result of a compromise between the filmmakers and the studios to provide a more cinematic experience while still adhering to modern viewing standards.

It is worth noting that the widescreen IMAX ratio is actually 1.89:1, not 16:9 as many people believe. This means that the IMAX version presented in theaters was actually cropped to fit the wider screen, resulting in a slightly different visual experience than what fans are used to seeing on their TVs and computers.

Overall, while Skyfall may have been an enjoyable film for some viewers, its lack of a true IMAX option on home releases was a disappointment for many. Here's hoping that future Bond films will make up for this by providing more cinematic options for fans.
