are IMax movies in widescreen?

Hi,

Am thinking of buying the "Dream is Alive" then got to
thinking, the IMAX screens I remember seem to be square. I don't want
to buy the DVD for my new Philips widescreen & have a square pic.


Thanks In Advance,
Steve

According to Amazon.com Dream is Alive is in 4:3 format on DVD. However
allot of the IMAX movies have been re-framed to 16:9 for broadcast on
the INHD channels. So I wonder is they might be re-released on DVD
later formatted for widescreen.

The IMAX film format is 4:3. So if you're interested in OAR (like I
figure everyone should be), it should be pretty square.
