In the quest for profit, IMAX is squeezing quality. Once people start flocking to 4K Atmos theaters, IMAX will go away.

I think everyone gets it that you do not like IMAX Digital, so be it. I don't like Atmos at all, its way to distracting an volume levels are at the mercy of the young teen in the booth. I just avoid it.

At least I'm assured a bright image and kicking volume.

IMAX is the way to go if you want a quality presentation. Sure, there are other theatres out there that can exceed it but it can be very difficult to find the .
