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.

Is it me, or are the IMAX screens at the Anaheim Garden Walk only slightly larger than a standard screen? They sure looked smaller than the ones in Irvine.
