Pues, si en la edición española es así, ya han metido la gamba una vez más. La edición americana sí parece respetar la alternancia original de los formatos:
http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film3/blu-r...ul_blu-ray.htm:
" Video: Aspect ratio: 1.85 + 2.4:1",
y aclara que esa era la intención de Iñarritu y Prieto:
Firstly, in regards to the fluctuating aspect ratio - between 1.85-2.4.0:1 - there is a discussion with the DoP Rodrigo Prieto HERE at the American Society of Cinematographers. Ex. "We made the aspect-ratio transition a few scenes later on a crane shot at the beach, using an angle of the ocean to open the edges of the screen to 2:40. I shot most of the movie with Panavision Ultra Speed [Z Series] MKIIs, and for most of the anamorphic work I used Panavision’s G-Series lenses. Whenever there was a source of light in frame, like a window, the MKIIs would cause a slight flare, and they gave the image a hard edge and contrasty feel that we liked. For certain moments, we enhanced the flare of bright sources with a Tiffen Smoque Filter on the camera."
Por si fuese poco, incluso en el imdb se especifica que la película comparte originalmente ambos formatos:
