The movie is indeed 2048x858 SCOPE. I have screened the movie and there are no aspect ratio changes throughout the film. If subtitles are an issue, it's most likely an error. The in-film subtitles looked normal to me.

What projector are you using to display the film?

Annli,

that is a very wide range of projectors.

Can you reduce it to one of those?

Off the top of my head, it might be that it is a 4K DCP that is getting information that it should output in 4K, but the projector is a 2K projector. We have had that happen, although it would possibly mean that you were losing as much as 75% of your image, which I would find unlikely.

For now, let's start with exactly which projector you are using.
