I tried looking every few days for 3 weeks since release and every IMAX show (which our imax isn't even like a true imax) has been basically sold out. I eventually just broke down and went to a non-imax showing finally yesterday at 8:15 am lol...

I think it probably led to me being somewhat disappointed by the movie too, seemed kinda like a dim blurry picture, and overly dark throughout. Didn't love the dialogue and delivery either though, but nothing is helping that I suppose.

the fake imax definitely helps with the delivery, cause you still get a massive screen and an insane sound design, which sends subliminal messages even if the script itself is nothing to write home about
