Why are there so many different aspect ratios in movies and TV shows

441 views

So I was watching Wandavision and was kinda confused seeing the aspect ratio change so much, I mean why make the movies so elongated and then praise when it is released in IMAX format, shouldn’t IMAX be the default since it shows more stuff in the screen?

Aspect ratios change with technology and competition. The best ratio isnt always the one thats most practical. 16:9 is currently the standard despite it not being the best for various applications.
