IMAX cameras teased on set.

I wonder if the movie will have shifting aspect ratios then? Seems odd to try to mimic the film stock and cinematography so closely to have some scenes not in 2.35:1...

Yeah, and it better be full 1.44:1 Imax this time!

I skipped seeing Into Darkness in Imax after hearing that they'd matted the large format shots down to 1.66:1 for some reason. They claimed it was to avoid making the aspect ratio switch too jarring for the audience, but I can't help suspecting it had something to do with rendering times and such.
