I had to check into this and it appears the Super 35mm comment is incorrect. It is using Panavision as almost every other Trek movie has. So this is anamorphic 35mm, not Super 35mm. Super 35mm was used in movies like Titanic and Apollo 13. Grain is apparent when using that process and converting it to 35mm scope prints.

I saw Eagle Eye in IMAX at the AMC Columbia and the up converting does yield some undesirable artifacts. You can see a difference even in the end credits as there was a slight blur during the roll.

Also, the wide screen projection (2:35) causes masking that leaves the top and bottom of the huge IMAX screen blank..a waste of space that makes the experience less desirable. If Trek is projected that way in IMAX, forget it. Its not worth paying the $15 to see it cropped.

I’m waiting for Holodeck 4D.

He Kept “a” form of Trek alive for some…..and effectively killed Star Trek for others.

PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE CREATES AN EXTRAORDINARY NEW FILM EXPERIENCE
IMAX digital re-mastering starts by converting a 35mm frame into digital form at very high resolution, capturing all the detail from the original. Our proprietary software mathematically analyses and extracts the important image elements in each frame from the original grainy structure to create a pristine form of the original photography. This is the most complex step in IMAX digital re-mastering.

HOW DO YOU MAKE 35MM MEET THE IMAX STANDARD?
The image on a 35mm film frame is comprised of a fine grain structure like that of all photographic images. This grain when projected on to the IMAX screen looks like a TV channel with bad reception. IMAX DMR removes this grain while preserving the quality of the underlying image making what you see on the screen crystal clear.

DIGITALLY RE-MASTERED, REFINED, AND RESIZED!
To create the brightness and clarity that audiences have come to expect from The IMAX Experience®, IMAX uses a proprietary computer program to make the images sharper than they were originally, while colors are adjusted for the unique technically superior characteristics of the IMAX screen.
