Retrofit isn't so bad if you don't get hung up on the IMAX label. The
screen is bigger, the picture is clear. The sound systems tend pretty
new and are certified to spec.
The extra $5 also tends to keep the audience more bought into the
experience (and thus a touch classier/quieter).

by better Imax, I assume we are referring to theatres that were
built exclusively for IMAX presentations and not retrofitted
metroplex theatres. IMAX refers to them as classic IMAX.
The only other classic IMAX theatre I know of is in Dublin at
Hacienda Crossing which is no closer for you, is it?
I am hoping to catch Avatar again in the IMAX 'lite' version at
EmeryBay in the next week, and can offer a comparison between
classic and lite soon. And if I get really wild and crazy, I'll
even see the Digital 3D version.
The IMAX theatre near Chris is the AMC Mercado, and that is a
retrofitted theatre (IMAX), on Mission College Blvd just around the
corner, sort of, from the IHOP where BASFA was held a couple of
times. Avatar is showing there in IMAX 3D.
hope that helps,
