IMAX Claims 98% Of Moviegoers Don’t Notice The Difference… Yeah, Right!

Over the last couple weeks we’ve been reporting on the internet uproar over IMAX’s new digital theaters. To recap: IMAX has been retrofitting traditional movie theaters, moving the screen up a few rows, installing improved sound systems, but the result is nothing near that of a traditional 70mm IMAX theater. The screen size is tiny in comparison (see image above). In fact, the two 2K-resolution Christie projector set-up is said to not look anywhere as good as the Sony 4K digital projectors which are now being installed in normal AMC and Regal theaters nationwide.
