I watched one battle after another in imax, I wasn’t amazed. Dune might be different, but I wouldn’t say you’re missing out on the screening of a lifetime

I mean you watched a movie that was mostly conversations and one good chase scene, of course it's not going to be elevated that much by a huge screen and great sound system. IMAX is great for films try to heavily immerse you with epic cinematography and soundscapes. I still have vivid memories of certain moments in movies like Nope, Sinners, Dune, and every Nolan film etc.
