Im seeing it tomorrow in IMAX. But it was clearly just marked IMAX. Two other theaters were marked just 70MM.

All i know is that an IMAX screen is 'boxier" and "taller" and a 70MM screen has a wider picture.

I guess what I'm trying to find out is if the 70mm would be better than normal IMAX.

I tried looking it up and seems like a tough call that may be highly dependent on the theater. Looks like maybe 70mm might be better if you know the theater has a decently large screen an modern enough sound. IMAX at lest seems like they have good standards for sound and if you know yours doesn't have one that was crammed into a smaller theater would be a good way to see.

IMAX image is three times bigger than 70mm. 70mm is 5-perf; IMAX is 70mm but sideways and 15-perf. Bigger image and better resolution.

Yes, I've seen that as well. Which is the version you would recommend? 70mm standard or IMAX. (I don't mean IMAX 70mm just IMAX) I'm just looking for the best experience. I think you are saying go see it in IMAX without actually saying that.

I have no idea what perf means by the way.

Also, which IMAX would I be getting at the Leawood KS Studio 20. All these different versions are maddening.

Very true. There is "LieMax" as well. AMC uses these screens alot. They are bigger screens, promoted as IMAX, but they are actually smaller than true IMAX size.
