I know I must be grossly bekinghted to be asking this, but...

what is so special about these IMAX films?  Everyone keeps saying "go look
at the projector," so I went over to NASA this weekend and looked for it,
but it appears to be locked up in some upstairs room.

I had thought maybe the rate at which the frames were shown was extremely
fast or something (because of the comments on inertia, etc.), but it
doesn't look that way since specks of dust on the film stay long enough to
see them fairly well.

If you know, mail the answer to me, since everyone else seems to already
know the answer to this great mystery...
