2048x1080 is actually about 1.89:1.

35mm get a bit more interesting, I wouldn't say that it goes all that far above 2k, but it is really hard to judge as most prints I see that wern't edited at 2k are from old prints of old films (it's generally said to usually to be around an equivelant 2k to 3k resolution though).

How many of you saw jumps in the quality of the footage in Inception. If you didn't then for you at least you can tell the difference between 35mm and 65mm [which more or less = 70 mm film], or maybe you where to caught up in the movie.
35mm film is always the same resolution. Of course it depends on the film stock used, the condition of the film etc on whether or not scanning it in at a higher res would be a waste of space or not.

I don't really remember seeing in pic quality difference for Inception, but I wasn't really paying attention. However I certainly can notice a difference in picture quality in The Dark Knight during the IMAX sequences.

70mm film prints are made from 65mm negatives (at least the old format dunno about IMAX). The extra space is for the sound track.
