The one movie I saw at the Bridge "IMAX" was certainly not an IMAX movie. Worse, it was a Panavision aspect ratio film, which does not take advantage of the height of an IMAX screen nearly as much as a more common Widescreen aspect ratio film would. So, I was disappointed.

And being very family with the 3 (at that time, 4) big screen theaters in L.A., I called shenanigans on an "IMAX" screen being smaller than any of these ... and I tried to base that estimate on the actual screen size rather than the relatively narrow size of the projected image.



In any event, I recommend not falling for gimmicks like IMAX or 3-D. Just see the movie. If you can make it to The Village or The Dome or The Chinese, do that. But gimmicks are lame.
