Sounds like you are sitting too close to the screen at IMAX, for your own tastes. I am interested to try the IMAX as I've never seen a 3d film there.

Sounds about right. Yeah I was quite close in the lower part. Row C in the middle. They projected the movie in a very small part of the screen and it was nearly a square area. You could notice the distorsion at the beginning then your brain does the work and you get used to it after 30min or so. Althoug it was big the 3D wasn't as clean as what I experienced in Hoyts Wetherill Park. That had the wow factor. Very clean. I-MAX was somehow blurry in places (edges) and although you had a feel for the 3D depth at times it was messy and hard to make up what was in front or back in busy scenes. It's worth having a look though but try to book a seat as far as you can from the screen.
