35mm film is 35 millimeters wide, 70mm film is 70 millimeters wide.  This means that 70mm film has a larger physical area on which to place an image, meaning much greater detail and clarity.

Also, IMAX is just 70mm film turned on its side, making the physical area on which an image can be stored even bigger, resulting in even greater clarity and detail than regular 70mm.
