Yeah, there was a pretty big campaign about it, actually. I used to have a full-page add for it that appeared in the Toronto Star newspaper. I remember wanting to go, but never did.

But does something being shown in Imax theaters automatically mean it was shot in a higher resolution than 1080p? Could they have done better than that back in 2001 or whatever? (I don't really know a ton about such things)

I've still only seen one Imax/Omnimax film so far: Ben Burtt's "Special Effects: Anything Can Happen." That was a while ago. :p Too bad we can't see it again.

I've only seen stills from that, the recreation of the Star Destroyer opening from ANH would be useful for fiddling about with in these projects.

I am right in thinking that was the IMAX film with the Star Destroyer bit in (or did I just dream it)?
