  • The two points they mentioned in the article were my exact thoughts on why the answer is “No” at least for now. IMAX tickets are more expensive, and you don’t even get to experience true IMAX if there isn’t one close to you. The other thing is I’m not willing to spend more on a movie where the IMAX format won’t really do much to enhance it.

    Limited Accessibility: IMAX is a premium product, and its ticket prices may not appeal to budget-conscious consumers.
    
    Dependence on High-Quality Content: The IMAX format thrives on visually stunning and narratively compelling films, which require collaboration with filmmakers committed to the theatrical experience.

    If anything, I wish they made passports into the size of a regular ID so it fits in a wallet/cardholder and you don’t have to worry about it getting folded or wet. Make visas and stamps digital so a chip scan of the card provides all the info, instead of eye/face recognition/tracking.

    I appreciate your optimism, but I’m more on the cautious side of things. At the end of the day they are still a corporation that needs to profit as much as they can, so we have yet to see what happens when they become the dominant player in the space. Hell, it was just reported that they are now planning a subscription model, waaay earlier than Elon did with twitter.
