The critical distinction for most viewers dissatisfied with the newer, smaller IMAX theaters is between theaters originally designed and built as IMAX theaters, and retrofitted 35mm multiplex screens. In general GT and SR theaters have screens that are much larger and seating areas that give a much more immersive field of view to all visitors. Most MPX and Digital theaters have smaller screens and seating areas that are deeper than the width of the screen, so that the average field of view is narrower, and therefore less immersive.
