Star Trek: First Contact

(This page compares the widescreen tape to a full-screen tape, both from Paramount Home Video.)

Widescreen	Full-Screen

An early scene. Notice that so much is cropped in the full-screen version that it's tough to tell that the shot is actually of a reflection. Only in the widescreen version can you see the back of Jean Luc's bald skull and the window frame on the left.

Widescreen	Full-Screen

And yes, in the full-screen version you even get less of the special effects.

Widescreen	Full-Screen

The full-screen version of First Contact is very cramped.
