IMAX Theatres are just a gimmick and don't improve the movie going experience
All this rave about seeing Nolan films in IMAX (specifically 70MM) has reminded me how much this idea that IMAX theatres are somehow superior annoys me. For context, I go to the theatre around once a week and have given IMAX many tries both in normal and 70 MM (watched Project Hail Mary this way) and was underwhelmed each time. Like at some point the screens get stupidly big for no reason. The majority of the time you only have to focus on the centre of the screen and everything else is just background stuff. giving you a massive screen just makes it hard to focus on what's important and I feel like I'm just raising my neck the whole time to look at the comically large screen. Basically once you get over the size, I just think it doesn't offer anything special and even takes away your ability to focus on the full screen and enjoy the movie comfortably..
