IMAX 15/70 mm film is simply the size of each frame (individual picture) on the reels of film. The reason that the size is so large, compared to that of a standard movie theatre, is because of the size of the screen that the IMAX is being viewed on. A small film size would force a blurry picture, something that is unacceptable for industry standards.

What is the difference between the bfi imax and odeon imax?
Odeon Imax theatres (except Manchester Printworks) are Digital projection facilities using 2 Christie 2K projectors converging a separate left and right image with a 1.9:1 ratio wide screen. This has lead to public confusion as Imax was originally a 15 perforation 70mm large film format which runs horizontally through a purpose built projector via a rolling loop method. Purists may argue that the digital version can no way match the resolution of the 15/70mm format but the image projected is staggeringly good with Imax's quality controlled auditoriums.

Is monsters vs aliens better in real d 3d or IMAX 3d?
It doesn't really matter but Imax has better audio quality? __________________________________________________________________ It will depend whether or not the IMAX movie is an actual IMAX movie, projected from horizontal 70mm film, or just a 35mm or digital projection blown up to the IMAX screen size. Most of the IMAX 3D blockbuster movies you see (Harry Potter, Tron etc.) are not shot with IMAX cameras. Some movies, such as The Dark Knight, mix scenes shot with IMAX cameras with 35mm cameras. The larger film stock (4 times the size of a standard film frame) allows much greater detail, and will look better as a 3D movie as well. The sound is digital disc playback, and usually has the same quality as other 35mm movies. When IMAX was first introduced, it had much better sound quality than other movies houses, but now most theaters have the same quality sound.
