See, this is exactly why I don't care about IMAX. What difference does a little bit more resolution make, when it's a simple shot with two people talking to each other? How does that benefit from a screen so big that I can hardly see it all without turning my head? I get that there's a resolution increase, but when was the last time you went to the movies and thought, "This picture just isn't sharp enough"?

It's ... immersive. The point isn't that it's higher-res, it's that the screen envelops your visual range all the way into the periphery. One of my earliest memories of a movie theater includes going to the IMAX around the age of 8. They had a trailer in which a first-person fox chased a rabbit into its den. It was mind-blowing. I'd never experienced a trailer so viscerally. I never got to go back to see the real movie, but man, when it work it works.
