The Star Trek in Imax that I just watched was NOT letterboxed. This was in a recently outfitted AMC using the dual DLP projectors and it was fucking fantastic. I don't see how anyone can have any complaints with it. Film or digital projection has NEVER delivered the kind of experience I just had. No, it wasn't 70ft Imax, but god damned if it wasn't better than anything else out there. If that's the trade-off I have to accept in order to get this level of quality locally, without them having to build a special theater just for it, FINE BY ME. There was not one aspect of the presentation that I felt was lacking. Brightness, image quality, fidelity, color, SOUND were all top notch.
While there may be issues with a specific theaters settings or calibration or whatever, I simply can't understand anyone having any complaints with a properly outfitted "Imax Digital" theater.
