Calling for an IMAX boycott

If you don’t want the whole long story, I did some research online and found this article that explains it. Basically IMAX is whoring out their brand name and trying to trick people. These new “IMAX” theatres are really just nice digital screens with good sound, but they ARE NOT IMAX, in that they don’t have the huge 72 ft gigantic screen which people would expect. However, they still charge $5 more for tickets as they would for the regular IMAX.

The IMAX brand is basically self-destructing, and it’s sad because the IMAX format really is something special (it’s more than just a big screen, it’s big film shot on big cameras). After getting duped last year by AMC Empire I decided I was done with regular 35mm movies blown up to IMAX size, but I’ll still see movies that use the real IMAX format (e.g. Dark Knight), I’ll just go to Lincoln Center where they have a real IMAX setup.

If your local multiplex suddenly offers an “IMAX experience” and they haven’t been under construction for months to put in a 72-foot tall screen, be suspicious; it’s probably just a 2K digital projector. What’s IMAX going to do when all movie theater projectors inevitably go digital? According to /Film, AMC is putting Sony 4K projectors into all their theaters by 2012. Oops.
