There's a film that's being sued for cutting Ana de Amas out of the film even though she was heavily featured in the trailers.

Avengers Infinity War had the Hulk charging scene in Wakanda, deliberately shot for the trailer, not in the film.

Spider-Man Homecoming had a shot of spidey and Iron Man flying/swinging in unison that wasn't in the film and was deliberately designed for the trailer.

Ah yes Edge of Tomorrow. Or as some people know it, Live. Die. Repeat.

They couldn't even settle on the final name for their movie, let alone market it properly. The rumored sequel was gonna be called, no bullshit, Live. Die. Repeat. Repeat.

Essentially, the full image frame as captured by the film or the digital camera sensor, usually in a tall 4:3 aspect ratio before being cropped down to a cinematic wide screen format (1.85:1, 2.35:1 etc.). So it shows off much more vertical space. To be fair, the director and cinematographer would compose the shots for the target aspect ratio, so the extra vertical space is usually visually uninteresting (sky, ground) because all the production design and composition will be set up for the frame they wanted to shoot. But purists are always after it for preservation reasons.

Also, of note to this discussion, it is typically very lightly compressed as it is the version intended to be used for post production and editing so is in the highest available quality.

The DCP would be very lightly compressed though. Even the best Blu-rays are compressed down to a 100GB disc. It might make a difference in very dark scenes where compression artifacts are most likely to be evident. But probably not worth it.

The other thing is that the DCP will likely contain 10+ audio channels. Now, whether there is any home theater system that can decode and play it (maybe a properly set up Dolby ATMOS system?) is TBD.

I know in the r/fanedits community there's a lot of stock placed in getting work print copies and 35mm open mattes of movies.

Captain America: Civil War, airport fight scene...Cap's team needs a distraction, something big. Scott promises he can do it...jumps onto Rhodey, pulls up his arm gadget, slides it from red to blue...and it was in that SPLIT second that it all suddenly clicked into place for me as I realized what he was about to do.

The moment he turns into Giant Man my deduction got paid off gives me thrills every single time I rewatch that film.

And of course Portals...nothing beats Portals.
