A real Imax film is filmed on special cameras (huge), using special film (massive - you need a fork lift truck in the projection room!). The frame rate is also very high. Taken together that's what gives the amazing sensation mentioned by masseywinos. None of it, so far, is new technology, but it pushes the boundaries hard on existing. (There's bound to be a documentary about it on youtube somewhere!)
"At The Max" was filmed on special cameras etc so it is a real imax film.
As far as I know "Shine A Light" was filmed on normal cameras, so showing it at an Imax cinema only gives you the benefit of the HUGE screen, and not the benefit of the HUGE screen and the amazing definition.
It's claimed that the largest cinema screen in the world (Imax naturally) is in Sydney, and the third (Imax naturally) is here in Melbourne.
