I was just wondering exactly that!

Can't see the point, - unless we end up with a 180 degree screen at some future time, - of increasing the ratio upwards from 2.35:1 - so where is the 21.15:9 home theater format screen?

Ah.. the "old movie" format was 1.33:1 so maybe they are trying to cover all angles.
