Haha, another Alex unintended pun. The only real non-Museum IMAX screen in Southern California that I'm aware of is at the Irvine SPECTRUM. TeeHee.

I'll check that link, but I think the one at Universal CityWalk may be "real" as well, but I hate that theater too much to ever find out.


I've gone down to Irvine a couple of times to see things in IMAX. Nice, but not necessarily worth the drive. I've never seen one of those films where only certain segments are in IMAX. That seems like it would be rather disconcerting.


(Though there was a movie I loved, Brainstorm, that had "mind-reading" segments in a wider aspect ratio - to good effect.)


I've been fooled by those claims of IMAX that are really just larger-than-average theater screens. Bah.

Unfortunately, there's only 3 large theater screens left in L.A. But each of those is bigger than your typical multiplex FauxMax screen.
