Just a follow-up: Browsing the Yelp reviews of a bunch of the aforementioned theatres tends to support my understanding of the situation:
E.g., AMC Mercado 20 has stadium seating and a relatively decent-sized (but not ideal) screen, but the screen is _flat_. Really good IMAX 3D screens such as the Metreon's are curved, so that the viewing angle is good from essentially any seat. AMC Cupertino Square 16 (a super-nice cinema generally, and a surprisingly good reason to visit the old Mall Formerly Known as Vallco) doesn't have a full-sized screen. Some commentators say the Regal Hacienda Crossings IMAX, Dublin is a full "IMAX 3D" venue worthy of comparison against the Metreon's screen. _______________________________________________ Basfa mailing list [email protected] http://lists.basfa.org/listinfo.cgi/basfa-basfa.org
