The problem is that UFO was designed and shot for the screen ratio of 1.37:1. High definition is 1.77:1, so the image has to be cropped at the top and bottom, and this goes against the intentions of the film makers. It ought to be watched pillar-boxed in high definition; meaning it has black bars on either side of the frame. Cropping the images to fit the newer TV ratio is as bad as cropping a widescreen feature film.
