Will Batman Begins be cropped from 2:35:1 for IMAX version?
The only theater in PA that's showing this in IMAX is only 15 minutes away & I was thinking about checking it out. I've never been to an IMAX movie, but I know the screen is only 1:66:1 or 1:78:1. I know the IMAX version of Apollo 13 on the newest dvd version is cropped & am guessing they'll probably do that to Batman as well. If that's the case, I'll skip the IMAX. Couldn't they just show it properly & cover the top & bottom of the screen, or would that make the screen not as impressive?

Matrix Revolutions was shown in 2.35, so I'm sure Batman will be the same...even with the aspect preserved, the images are huge and have striking clarity...I'm definitely going to catch Batman in IMAX when I get a chance.

Thanks. I hope you're right. I wouldn't want to see a P&S version, even if it is huge. I wish WB would keep that integrity for HD as well. I've avoided the Matrixes & others that were cropped to 1:78:1 for HBO HD.
