That’s supposed to be almost 400 miles of film?

True IMAX theaters.

Some market themselves as IMAX, but aren't really, around the world.

Right?! Imagine my surprise when I googled if there even was a 70mm imax in MI and saw GR of all places had one of the 41 nationally.

The only real IMAX in my region is a science center. They do sometimes show new movies, but Oddesey apparently isn't one of them. Oppenheimer was though.
