GoKawiilNot all IMAX screenings deliver the expanded aspect ratio moviegoers expect
IMAX theaters show films in a wider field of view by removing black bars seen in standard widescreen formats, but this only applies fully to movies shot with IMAX cameras. Films like Toy Story 5 and Moana have screened in IMAX theaters despite not being officially classified as 'Filmed for IMAX,' meaning they lack the true expanded picture area. Only movies captured with 65mm film or digital IMAX cameras achieve the format's signature immersive scale.
