Is IMAX relevant in 2025?
I think I've only seen one or two movies in an actual IMAX theater, closer to the year 2000, and it was just boring field trip type stuff (I think my class went to see Everest, the release date lines up with the year I had that teacher).
So I don't really remember a lot of the experience I doubt most 10 year olds can tell the difference.
Is there a way to make a comparison to regular tech? Like in 2000, did we drive 4 hours to watch a 90 minute movie in 4k?
What is modern IMAX capable of compared to a regular theater and a movie shot with regular cameras?
Why...would you want that goofy aspect ratio?
Are there other noticeable differences aside from resolution and aspect ratio? Can IMAX do HDR, and if so, how well?
Doing a little wikipedia skimming it seems like they aren't making a lot of technical progress in terms of making better IMAX cameras and cheaper film to do actual blockbuster productions, they're not developing any cool tech for home use, they closed their whopping 7 "vr centers."

Is IMAX in the purgatory of private equity?
