IMAX cameras don't only shoot on 70mm (actually 65mm) film - they shoot on 65mm film running sideways, so an IMAX frame has about 10 times the surface area of a standard 35mm frame, which also translates to 10 times the resolution - A 35mm camera negative is speculated to hold the resolution of between 6K and 8K, so you're looking at an analog alternative of what would be like 60-80K digital resolution.
