I'm sure you are just seeing an optical illusion due to sitting low down , but you may be right. I sometimes watch 16:9 stuff on my computer monitor stretched to 4:3 and it looks very odd indeed so I would be amazed if IMAX were deliberately distorting the aspect ratio for any reason
Its possible they are showing it at 4:3 but you would have a bit of left /right crop to achieve that without distortion of the film.
What my investigation is telling me is that the ReelD system used not by Imax ( using circular polarisation) gives a much cleaner image with no ghosting , and better depth perception. The 3D system used by IMAX is relatively old . I am considering to see it back at Greater Union for my second time and save $9 and big journey
