Nothing IMPORTANT, just, you know, background scenes, but it was kind of neat.

IMAX runs in general tend to be short, because the theaters need to make room for the next movie showing in IMAX.
I think only Christopher Nolan has that kind of pull in the industry to demand exclusivity to IMAX. It sucks, but the only guaranteed way to see IMAX movies is on opening weekend (or hope for a re-release).
