Ultra Wide vs Widescreen

Haven't been paying much attention to monitors in the past two years, and while checking out Newegg, seen a lot of Ultra Wide monitors, and was wondering if anyone here has experience with them.

Do you run into problems where a movie or game is stretched because of the length? I think I've seen 2560x1440 in newer game options, but how about older games?

Does it feel like you have an extra 1/2 monitor on each side when you game? If you've played on a multiple monitor setup, does it feel a bit similar?

Just started researching Ultra Wide, so any thoughts on it versus widescreen are appreciated.
 
There is a wealth of information on the performance of just about every game released past and present at different aspect ratios and resolutions here:

Also fixes for games that don't support custom resolutions. Games like Call of Duty-Advanced Warfare.
