 Over the last couple weeks we’ve been reporting on the internet uproar
over IMAX’s new digital theaters. To recap: IMAX has been retrofitting
traditional movie theaters, moving the screen up a few rows, installing
improved sound systems,
but the result is nothing near that of a traditional 70mm IMAX theater.
The screen size is tiny in comparison (see image above). In fact, the
two 2K-resolution Christie projector set-up is said to not look anywhere as good as the Sony 4K digital projectors which are now being installed in normal AMC and Regal theaters nationwide.
