You should talk about your experience watching movies on your new G9 in an upcoming episode of the Filmcast! I have also been trying a bunch of various monitors recently and watching films in ultrawide has its strengths and weaknesses. I tried Dune (2021) and my Alienware AW3423DF QD-OLED made some of those scenes look outdistancing while close up dialogue scenes couldn’t help but look awkward as I fiddled with VLC to settle on the 2.35:1 (or 21:9) aspect ratio.

Also great analysis about why exactly GxK looked terrible. This and the Transformer series are just such boring films for me as I can’t engage with CGI characters for 2 hours (unless it looks like Avatar: The Way of Water).

I remember seeing the trailer and something about Godzilla running just really turned me off. Like, maybe it was the tone of it or something or that I’m used to Goji being big and powerful but not that mobile.
