All this being said, we saw Matrix IMAX back at the LA meet 2000 and didn't notice the cuts. At the time I don't think any of us were thinking about it, but the running time is well over 2 hours (and we stayed for the credits, so that wasn't the cuts made).But that would not have been a true IMAX presentation - as Clones and Apollo 13 are claiming to be. When you saw The Matrix in IMAX, it was just a standard 35mm 'scope print (though it was printed lighter to allow more light to reach the larger screen; in the past, these were called "drive-in" prints) presented - in letterbox form - on the IMAX screen. Clones and Apollo are actually being converted to the IMAX 15/70 film stock and are re-formatted and cut.
