There are different types of IMAX. There are differences that you may notice but I believe that there are differences in all types of film and digital. For example technicolor vs cinemascope or Panavision. They all have a special look to it. The differences in analog IMAX and digital IMAX will also be different. There are things that you may see in a digital IMAX that you may not have seen analog because more information is being caught.
I like to use the example of watching Will Smith in Ali and being able to see every single hair in his armpit. If it were analog I wouldn't really have noticed it because you would have recognized it as hair and moved on. Digital makes each hair stand out in the shot. It is a bit unnatural.
