    Interesting.  I have seen the LCD versions of 2 films in NYC ("Into the
    Deep" and "Across the Sea of Time") and the LCD version of "L5" in
    Vegas and in neither case did I notice this.  I'll have to watch for it
    next time.  I would have thought the higher than average frame rate of
    the IMAX system would solve this particular short-coming with LCD
    systems.

    Does anybody remember the frame rate used on an IMAX system and how
    that compares to a conventional 35MM feature film?
