Morons over at the blu ray forum are under the impression they are actually going to see a projected negative


Correct me if I'm wrong but none of those major IMAX screens project anything analog, it's all digital. They also feel this is unrestored but that's no surprise, they are huge teal and orange champions.

I HONESTLY can not speak for every theater out there, but OUR local IMAX projects real film on really large reels - like 4 foot diameters? guessing looking through the big window that shows the reels stringing film up to the projector.

A buddy went to the 70mm projected version in Chicago, and I suspect it was actual film, because the fans would riot if it wasn't.

this is CURRENT what I see in Imax theaters, so, yes, they still do FILM, and probably have a small digital projector setup as well, for other things.
