"Raiders of the Lost Ark" was wonderful in IMAX.  The colors were rich, the grain was there, the music was very loud compared to the sound effects...and the image was hyper-detailed.  I think it is by far the best presentation of the film yet.  The old blue and white "PG" rating card was even at the end after the credits.  A truly stellar presentation. 

There was only one thing wrong- George Lucas apparently snuck in the CGI shot of the truck going over the cliff in the chase.  When I saw that I was livid.  It took me about 5 minutes to get over it. 

 

The establishing shot of Washington D.C. also looked extremely blurry and computerized compared to the surrounding shots and I suspect it may have been CG altered too. 

How did this get through?  Certainly not with Steven Spielberg's permission. 

But that was just one blot on an otherwise stellar presentation- as I said, I think it's the best yet.  Go and see Raiders in IMAX.
