Question: is imax the same as xd?
Answer: IMAX Digital is only allowed to play what studios release in the IMAX format. Cinemark XD can show whatever they want. ... Both XD and IMAX Digital are both rip-offs. Though if you want to see a movie in IMAX 3D, but the IMAX Digital is the only one available in your area, that is when you resort to Cinemark XD.
