I'll believe that the film will be an hour long when I see it!
Current IMAX films are limited to 35 min or so because that much film
fills the film supply reels, which are about 4 feet in diameter and weigh
hundreds of pounds when filled.  To show a 1-hour film they would either have
to modify the supply and takeup reel transport, or have an intermission
while reels were changed.
