Just got this from The Reel Image. It's scope and came on a 100' reel. I'm sorry I don't know if it's stereo because I don't have a stereo projector. Maybe someone else who owns this reel can chime in.

If you're familiar with the work of Chris Nolan, you might also know that his trailers don't disappoint. A lot of great moments featured in this reel. The story was well outlined and the characters are well represented with the scenes used.

Print is very clean and very sharp. The colors are very nice and the contrast is seamless.
Though even without the scope lens I noticed it was slightly dark. Nothing too serious. I'd say the only part that's noticeable is with the metallic looking text graphics. But if the bulb is bright and the room is plenty dark, then you'll be fine.

The sound was very good but not excellent. I might look into a re-record. It was very clear but it could use a little more bass. That admittedly might be more of an issue with my sound set up. So please take my thoughts on sound as a passive consideration - not as fact.

All in all, I'd recommend it if you're a fan of the film. It should also be worth noting it has come down in price from $22 to $18. Totally worth it at that price!
