I've been to the IMAX theatre a couple of times and the experience is UN-BEATABLE! You can really sense the different from the non-IMAX theatre. I consider it as an ultimate and wholesome movie experience. Thus, it is a premium worth paying for.
Following are some tech spec of IMAX extracted from Show Theatres' website:
Virtually all aspects of IMAX®’S digital theatre system have been customized specifically to deliver The IMAX® Experience. The integrated suite of proprietary IMAX ® technologies with dual digital projectors, laser-aligned digital surround sound and IMAX®’s patented theatre geometry are to deliver the world’s most immersive movie experience.
IMAX ® theatres’ are specially designed where the seating decks are steeply raked. Unobstructed panoramic views place audiences right in the on-screen action. A large effective screen width is achieved by bringing the screen closer to the audience. IMAX ®’s customized, patented theatre geometry provides and immersive experience equal to 20-230% increased screen area.
In IMAX ® 3D, images literally jump off the screen and into your lap!
