IMAX > 3D

I'll take IMAX over 3D anytime, anywhere. Take The Dark Knight for example; the scenes shot in IMAX were absolutely stunning and far superior to anything done in 3D. The aspect ratio avoids the need for the widescreen black bars and the resolution is clearly second to none.

I think IMAX is the future of film, not 3D. IMAX cameras are expensive and big and bulky as is the actual film, but I'm sure in time, they will be easier to work with and we'll see more and more filmmakers using them.

IMO 3D is gimmicky and targets the youth audience. For true fans of cinema and/or film, nothing comes even close to IMAX.

EDIT: Also, when I wear 3D glasses in a theatre or at someone's house with a 3DTV, I find there's a disconnect between me and the screen. It's like wearing sunglasses while watching a movie or something.
