No, it was actual 70mm gauge reversal film (so it recorded a positive image directly onto the emulsion) and the recorded image stretched from perf to perf, it was such a unique configuration that they had to use a prototype scanner from Filmlight to capture it.
Whereas for 5-perf or 15-perf IMAX 65mm they're still basically using the Todd-AO system (shoot on 65 negative, print to 70) all these years later.
