OK, I'm apparently too dense to understand what that means. I know the movie will be projected in a 2.40:1 ratio in ordinary theaters and 1.44:1 in IMAX theaters. So what's this got to do with the eventual BD version, and what are "shifted aspect ratios"?
Will the IMAX version and the BD release contain varying aspect ratios or just one of the above? If it's all in 1.44:1, it won't fill a widescreen TV (1.78:1). They'll have to crop the top and/or bottom for that. So, as I say, what does he mean?

Basically Nolan shot 4 specific scenes in IMAX film... those four scenes will remain in the IMAX Aspect Ratio during viewing at an IMAX... but the rest of the movie will run in 2.40:1. So when said IMAX scenes are shown, the ratio will jump from 2.40:1 to 2:4...

Did you mean the ratio will jusmp from 2.40:1 to 1.44:1? (I don't know what a 2:4 ratio is.)
So in IMAX theaters, the screen ratio will change during the movie. Therefore, what primary ratio will the BD disc be in? Will it, too, be in mainly 2.40:1, with four scenes suddenly changing ratios to 1.44:1?

Yeah... basically it'll jump from IMAX ratio to the films regular ratio on both the IMAX and Blu-Ray. I honestly hope it's just an option though.
