Yeah, I saw it in Omnimax at the Franklin Institute in Philly.

It’s the only non-dome-formatted movie I’ve seen in a dome… honestly, it kinda sucked. Sure, the image is HUGE, but it’s very distorted. Even the Falcon escape from Jakku was super distorted.

Side note, can anyone explain what the benefit of the Falcon scene being shot in IMAX is? I’ve seen it twice in IMAX 3D and I notice nothing noteworthy about it (other than it’s exciting and totally kicks ass anyway!).

At the Omnimax showing, a little bit more of the dome was filled in during that scene… which honestly added nothing.
