Actually, "Land Of The Lost" would be pretty good in IMAX. In my experience, IMAX makes any movie better. Hell, even "Speed Racer" was enjoyable in IMAX.
But "Land Of The Lost" isn't in IMAX, either. Again, don't confuse a movie chain
using its IMAX Theater to run 35 with an actual IMAX presentation. They might advertise "...in the IMAX theater!" but unless they actually say "in IMAX", they're fooling you. A regular film shown on a regular projector in an IMAX theater will look just like a regular film; it'll just have a lot more unused screen around it. Consider it like serving a McDonald's hamburger on a giant china plate, LOL.
The most recent IMAX films were "Star Trek" and then "Night At The Museum 2". "Transformers 2" will be in IMAX, with some scenes filmed using the IMAX camera like they did with "The Dark Knight" and, in addition, I believe "Transformers 2" will have IMAX-exclusive extra content (a few more minutes of robots fighting or something). After that will be "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", which will not only be in IMAX but will have select scenes in IMAX 3D; for the last Potter film, the last 20 minutes or so was in 3D, but I don't know if they're going that route again or doing what they did for "Superman Returns" (where they had short scenes interspersed throughout the film, such as the airplane rescue and the boat rescue). After "Prince" there's nothing on the IMAX docket until Disney's Jim Carrey version of "A Christmas Carol" in early November, and then James Cameron's "Avatar" in December. That's a big hole, so
something else will probably be in IMAX--perhaps "G.I. Joe" in August, no one knows right now.
