BLOG: Will You Be Watching Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon In IMAX On the Real Deal? Or the Fake One?

Editor's Note: This post was originally published in June 2009 for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. Since Transformers Dark of the Moon is coming out in IMAX, this felt fitting to repost. Information has been updated to keep up with the times.

So a fan over at our Facebook page shared something quite interesting with us.

Back in 2009, there was actually a big broo-ha when comedian Aziz Ansari of NBC’s Parks and Recreation complained on his Twitter account that AMC is charging "$5 extra for a slightly bigger screen [than the normal one]" and calling it the IMAX experience.

He also later called shenanigans on IMAX, Corp. too, for letting them use their name even though it wasn't the 72 feet of IMAX goodness.

What is the difference, really?

Well, LF Examiner posted an astounding comparison image of the "real" IMAX versus the "fake" IMAX.

So the real question becomes, which version is the IMAX theater near you? And will you be watching it in IMAX?

Transformers Dark of the Moon, unlike Transformers Revenge of the Fallen was not shot using any IMAX cameras, and therefore, will not take full advantage of the IMAX screen.

For the ease of finding out instead of calling or actually finding out when you get there (glories of these series of tubes!), James Peach of Destroy Fake IMAX has done an honorable job of collecting and collating data from various sources of input and created a Google Maps visualization of it.

I don't mean to brag, but both within driving distance of me are Smithsonian IMAX theaters, and they are both legit.

And yes, I care.
