It wasn't on IMAX film, but this particular location has a stand alone former IMAX theatre that they now use to show traditional 35mm movies on.  They showed BBM for about 8 weeks on the IMAX screen!

Seeing Brokeback on an IMAX screen--now that would have been some high-class entertainment!  :D

In view of his comments it would be interesting to know what Denby would think of viewing the film on an IMAX screen.

(I remember RonTrigger. Wonder whatever became of him?  ??? )

serious crayons:
Rontrigger still posts now and then at imdb.

I just saw my first mainstream IMAX film (not counting the ones about ocean life and the Grand Canyon and things like that). It was "Night at the Museum." I didn't like the experience much. I was sitting closer than I probably should have been, and my eyes kept wandering around the screen, not knowing where to settle.

But the fact that "Night at the Museum" was bad probably didn't help.  :-\

Ron's alive and well over on Imdb.  There's actually a lot of good discussions that are still going on over there.  Worth a lurk....

IMDb? Seems like I haven't been back there in four effen years.  ;D

I take a kind of middle view on those smaller screens.

On one hand, any kind of large-scale scenery is diminished on a smaller screen; we have a medium size one, about 25". But for me, the balance tilts a little toward the advantage of being able to view it whenever I want, replaying certain scenes and just the sentimental feeling of having Ennis and Jack in my house. (Yeah, I know that sounds a tad demented!)

We got one of those little 7-inch DVD players for Christmas, and finally dug through the junk boxes to find some earphones that fit it. Looking forward to that!
