In case this is mis-understood, this mostly applies to movies specifically released for IMAX, where a portion of the movie is shot with IMAX aspect ratio equipment and that IMAX aspect ratio is kept in the IMAX Blu-ray edition.
A little off topic, but IMHO, IMAX is not really IMAX anymore. When they were projecting 70mm-15perf, the perceived pixel width was in the order of 12K. The digital projectors are only 4K. They should be at least 8K. That still presents an issue since the highest digital cameras used for movie recording is 6K (Gods of Egypt).
There are times when I am watching an IMAX movie at an IMAX theater, I can see the pixels. And I do not sit close to the screen. Some of you reading this might not know that IMAX screens used to be larger. I call today's IMAX screens, minIMAX.
