It's not really an IMAX theatre. It used to be, but it turned out not to be financially viable. Now they use the screen to show movies at jumbo size using a more conventional projector.
Yeah I saw an earlier Batman on the Imax screen in Auckland and they did that, ~ switched aspect ratios for the Imax filmed sections. It was very cool on the big screen.
I believe the Bluray does something similar, swaps from 2.35 ish to 1.78 for those sections.

That was the case sseveral years ago. I believe that the imax features remained, and they still use them for imax movies. Apparently when there's nothing going, imax is just used as a megascreen which I believe is just 35mm blown up. Pity, becuase they could be showing really good imax documentaries.
