Just got home, we caught the "Screen X" version which has a main fake Imax size screen, then projects additional footage on the left and right walls.

Hardly anyone went to the Screen X version so we had that going for us.

What it looks like going in:

What it looks like in practice:

It's... interesting. It's not 100% through the movie, just key scenes, and it does appear to be unique footage shot for the format, not stretched or copy/pasted.

Obviously the main screen is the real movie and everything extra is, well, extra. It also makes daylight scenes way brighter in the theater due to three projectors running.

If you like comic books and comic book movies, there's a lot to like here. No spoilers. I was concerned about a run time coming in under 2 hours, but everyone did a great job.

My only real complaint is not enough Ben. Reed, Sue and Johnny all seem to have projects in the movie, oh, and Ben was there too. 🙁 Feels like if they had wanted to add more run-time, fleshing out Ben would have been a good start.
