if IMAX, a format that touts itself as being the highest resolution currently possible, trumping even all them newfangled "digital formats" (which it is and does) converts to *4k* digital projection, it'll be completely pointless beyond being something projected on a giant screen, which you can get anyway if you go to a movie theater and sit in the 4th or 5th row (I saw WALL-E that way and I didn't have to strain my neck, but still could see nothing but movie :-D).

Yeah, at some point, you're gonna have to be quite a distance from the screen to be able to tell what's going on in the first place.

Hey, have you heard of NHK's ultra hi-def? (http://broadcastengineering.com/hdtv/nhk-public-testing-ultra-hd/) Pretty interesting. I first saw it on a science program called Daily Planet a while back.
