It did have the original cliff shot.
I don't see why they would replace the IMAX version with the CGI cliff shot if the same restoration is being showcased in 35mm with the original cliff shot. I really hope I'm not wrong on seeing the original... The intermediate LaserPacific restoration also has the cliff shot, which really hasn't been an edition since the Lowry restoration.
That may be due to the over-processing done to blow the film up to 6K for Digital IMAX because I imagine they had to do a lot of scrubbing to eliminate the inherent qualities of the 1981 stock.
Actually, surprisingly little scrubbing appeared to be done: it was filmic 80s stock upconverted: warts and all. I was happily surprised. No DMR EE or DNR for the most part.
There were only two shots that seemed "processed": the transition to the first map and the DC shot. The first was visibly DVNR'ed since it was an optical combined with a transition (would have looked ridiculously grainy). The latter may have been degrained then regrained: something oddly artificial about the grain movement.
Q: Did anybody see the snake reflection in IMAX?
Nope. No, snake reflection in the IMAX screening IIRC.
