I call shenanigans on that IMAX locator. According to it, the only authentic IMAX screens in Southern California are at the California Science Center in downtown L.A. (check), the Irvine Spectrum in Irvine (check), and the Bridge in West L.A. (bogus!!!)

I've been to all of these theaters, and the Bridge is a real IMAX if my dog can talk. It's a smaller screen than either the Village, the Chinese or the Dome (the remaining big screen theaters), and it's way smaller than the IMAX at either the Spectrum or the Science Center.

Yet the site claims the Bridge screen is only 4 feet less wide and 8 feet less tall than the Spectrum's (and 1 foot less wide, 2 feet less tall than the Science Center's).

My experience says otherwise.

Of course, the site says both the Spectrum and the Bridge opened the same year, in 2002, and I was under the distinct impression the Spectrum was around loooong before the Bridge. Anyone in the OC know when the Spectrum was built?
