Should Imax tell moviegoers the size of its screens?

posted in: All News, Rest | 0

As you may remember from our recent coverage, “Parks and Recreation” costar Aziz Ansari caused a huge flap when he put up an outraged post on his blog excoriating Imax after he went to see “Star Trek” at the Imax Experience at the AMC complex in Burbank — and discovered the supposedly giant Imax screen was barely any bigger than an average-sized theater screen. Feeling ripped off (after all, hed paid an extra $5), he blasted Imax for “duping” its customers and “whoring out their brand name.” Whats worse, everyone in the blogosphere picked up the story, adding snarky touches of their own, resulting in a full-bore PR disaster for the company.
