I got off work just a few minutes too late for the 2:00 pm showing I was hoping to catch, and had to go to the 5:00 pm instead (not that I mind seeing movies later - I like them then, with the larger crowds one would expect, but of course they're more expensive then and money is sadly pretty tight for me these days).
I will say it's clear the movie wasn't really shot with IMAX presentation in mind, but it held up quite well. The movie looked and sounded beautiful, and I too noticed details I'd never noticed before in three decades of regular re-watching. The one disappointment was the non-crowd - I was really hoping to experience it with a sizable audience once again, but there were hardly any people there. I'm hoping / expecting the marathon will have a larger turnout, since it's much less expensive per movie (even for all those people pledging to skip one) and there's a single showing.
(Oh, and one more thing: the title on the IMAX poster notwithstanding, the movie was still "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on screen.)
