BTW, interesting point I came across regarding Digital IMAX vs. film:

Film-based IMAX runs 65mm film stock sideways through the projector. This format means each frame of the movie is held on a very large area of film.



This large physical area results in a very high image quality.

If you wanted to faithfully represent this image digitally you might use 8000x4000 = 32M pixels. At a pinch you might get away with 6000x3000 = 18M pixels.

Digital IMAX uses the same large screen size as IMAX but replaces the film with a 2K digital projection system.
So you are seeing only 2 Million pixels in the image. You read that correctly.
The thing they call "Digital IMAX" contains 10 or 20X less picture information.

IMAX has plans to replace the projectors with 4K models. But currently, Digital IMAX is pretty much the same resolution as your domestic 1080P TV (1920x1080).

In other words, go see Interstellar on actual film.
Digital IMAX is not a high resolution format.
