if theyre showing matrix reloaded on it, i'd say its all good then:thumbup:
when they show normal shows, the film is usually formated for IMAX cameras.

Now then, IMAX had an outside company make a special lens that allows 35mm film to be projected onto IMAX's huge-ass screens. I know this because a former best friend of mine had a brother-in-law who worked on the project. Basiclly, its the same film, just blown up. Which means the quality shouldn't be as high as the made-for-imax movies.

but who knows, maybe the quality will be good?
