The film is not playing at the NYC Lincoln Square 13 (15-70, not DLP), which is still playing "The Dark Knight Returns" on its IMAX screen, and I haven't actually been able to confirm that it's playing on 15-70, well, anywhere. Granted there are, what, < 100 such screens worldwide? But the other IMAX-equipped theaters close by either say nothing about it (Liberty Science Center) or it's unclear what the format is (the New Rochelle theater has both DLP and 15-70).

I'm planning on seeing it next wk regardless at the Empire 25, because come on, it's Raiders, and I've never seen it in a theater before. There are screenings now and again at some of the smaller theaters but I almost always miss them. The 35mm was at the last Monday night Bryant Park movies event, but as we're Not In College Anymore getting a seat is a hassle, and the audio/video quality is awful - it's more of a social outing than anything else, often enough. Good way to discover old movies though.

I've never seen DLP IMAX but I've had my expectations duly lowered by all the negative fanfare.
