Not an expert but recently i've been at the house of a friend who owns a godzilla sized 16x9 screen and watched "2001 - a space odissey" which, like or not, was one of the few movies to use the full 70mm frame, pre-imax.
Well the blu-ray transfer filled the screen amazingly, with no black bars and great definition. The Dark Knight Blu ray, also did the same trick, since it keeps the IMAX sequences in their original form.
On a general level i noticed a recurring path: the movie industry tries a new technological trick to drive the audience in theaters (cinemascope, Dolby surround, Imax, digital 3D), after a while the trick fades off and a format that tries to restore the experience in a home format comes out.
