Does TFA have any IMAX sequences?

Edit: I have no clue what any of that means by the way, all I know is that IMAX is when in Chris Nolan’s movies some action scene is happening so the screen of my laptop goes full screen.

Why am I so dumb

The entirety of the Falcon escape from Jakku was shot in IMAX, although the blu-ray and digital releases keep the 2:35:1 crop.

IMAX is essentially a large capture format. Usually when people say IMAX, they mean IMAX 70mm film. In simplest terms, when movies are typically shot on film, they are shot on 35mm. IMAX provides better picture quality and often, depending on whether the director want to use it or not, a taller aspect ratio. Dunkirk, for example, had 75% of its runtime shot on IMAX, which meant if you went to the right screen to see it, then for 75% of the film the majority of what your eye was seeing was the movie (hence “IMAX”).
