I'd say 60% of the screen was used. So you're looking at a small rectangle 4:3 I'd say centered on a huge screen. From the row I was sitting in it with the glasses on it was limit. Very big surface to look at. As H said you can't take it in 100%. If it was using the full screen I doubt you'd be able to see everything unless you sit outside Don't take my word for it. Book a seat and go see it for yourself but get a spot as far as possible from the screen.
