yeah, but the film is only 1/10th as big 
nope it (luckaly) isn't.
Screens here are usually at least 5, 6 meters high (and also curved). I'm not talking about those crappy movie theaters for 30 people with 2 left and right speakers and a flat screen of 2m high. We have those too, but you don't go there for seeing 'epic' movies (unless you don't have a TV at home
)...
The resolution of the projected movie is more than big enough for those screens in our big cinemas. And te sound systems in most of the cinemas are more than up-to-date to modern day standards (IMAX is actually a very old standard in that regards).
To be very honest, you need to look very very very very very closely to see any difference between an IMAX projected movie and a 'normal' movie here provided you sit at the appropiate distance of course. When you sit from a normal distance depending on the screen size, you wont notice any difference at all. Especially not with action movies. (A still image might be another story).
Which means you sit a lot further away from the screen of an IMAX movie than from a 'normal' movie screen. Constantly needing to turn your head left and right isn't what I call a good experience either...
