The new Imax experience: Is it a big screen or a big scam? | The Big Picture | Los Angeles Times

Interesting rant.

Looks like the writer is complaining that not all IMAX movie theaters are created the same. [And why they are charging extra for an "inferior" experience on the smaller retrofitted theaters.].

I do wonder about this...I know seeing my first IMAX film at the Smithsonian way back in the late 80s was quite amazing--and it filled the limits of my peripheral vision.

Of course..yes IMAX is more than just size...it is about clarity too.
