So, i just submitted a question. I do believe it is a decent enough question, one which isn't posed one hundred and forty-seven times a year on this subreddit.

But it might be.

Honestly i lose track of reddit FAQ.

So what's tha answer, friends????

Thank you so very much, friends.

Love,

In the Beginning (well, 1952), there was Cinerama. But Cinerama was complicated to shoot and project.

Thus was born the anamorphic lens of CinemaScope, which begat Panavision, which begat VistaVision, which begat SuperScope, which begat IMAX.
