Since your post has been pretty well answered, I thought I'd address this instead.
Really, the point of an ultrawide is
not to "cram lots of space in". That
is the effect. However, the real point is to distort perspective. The result is wonky when you take portraits -- but I've also seen great use of the effect with people (say, huge head and a tiny body).
When it comes to ultrawides, think perspective. Put something that you want emphasized in the middle, and things you want marginalized in the edges. The "huge head, tiny body" example is a good one. You've got to be creative, but it can look awesome!
