I have a running theory that IMAX is mostly a marketing concept made to make people pay significantly more to see movies. I feel like IMAX is just kind of a scam UNLESS you have a 70mm IMAX theatre in your area

And people who suggest there is a real difference see just under the placebo affect of the marketing

Oh, this tracks! Ty.

I only ever go to the IMAX at Universal, which is in fact 70mm-equipped.

(Sorry, specifically "I only go to that theatre if I mean to see something in IMAX." I mostly go to my neighborhood theatres, generally)

Got you - yah I really think the 70mm experience is different from a typical viewing experience just because the theatre itself is different. But put a person in a regular IMAX film and then have them watch the same movie in a Dolby Atmos theatre and they’ll likely have the same viewing experience

Like to see Sinners in true 70mm IMAX, there’s like a total of 14 screens in North American that you can watch it on (one in Canada the rest are in the states)
