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!).

Watching on 70mm at the Science Museum London…twice:
A) The aspect ratio. The screen expanding to 1.44 just completely fills your vision and makes it more immersive.
B) On the huge screen the image was of a different quality compared to the 35mm footage. This is the same as when watching Interstellar (or Dark Knight/Rises), although to a lesser extent.

I saw it once in IMAX 3D as well, the difference was not as noticeable, the screen was a 1.9 aspect ratio so although it expanded it wasn’t as much. The 3D was giving me a headache and eyestrain, though, so I can’t comment too much on it.

No idea about Dome Viewing
