Re: Imax theatres

Many of the IMAX theaters have started showing regular theatrical releases converted to IMAX. Apollo 13 looked great. They often have to cut out portions to make it fit into the IMAX time limit of 2 hrs. If they don’t want to cut scenes they can just put in an intermission to give the projectionist time to change the real. Eventually I think they will go to a Digital IMAX projection system, there would be no limit on the show time. It will all just be on a single optical disc. However the price of admission to these shows are still substantially more than a regular movie.
