IMAX gets its high quality from running [[UsefulNotes/FilmFormats 70mm]] film sideways through the projector. Unlike normal 70mm, which uses 5 perforations per frame with a 2.20:1 AspectRatio, IMAX uses 15 perforations per frame for three times the exposure area. This makes an aspect ratio of 1.43:1. This format is designed for massive movie screens that can be as tall as 75 feet, known as IMAX GT (Grand Theater) theaters.

IMAX ratios are rarely made available for viewing outside of IMAX theaters, with most home video releases cropping the IMAX sequences to match the rest of the film, just like they're shown in non-IMAX theaters. Documentaries and art films shot entirely in IMAX 65mm are cropped to 16:9 for home viewing. Some films, such as ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', include the aspect ratio switches on UsefulNotes/BluRay (but not internet or TV formats), but IMAX sequences are cropped to 16:9. In 2021, Creator/DisneyPlus, in a novel move, made the IMAX-formatted versions of all applicable films in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse available to stream, which continued for future films in the series as well as ''WesternAnimation/{{Lightyear}}''. Most of them show the whole 1.90:1 for applicable scenes. However, ''Film/{{Eternals}}'' is the first 1.43:1 MCU film, and 1.43:1 sequences are cropped to 16:9, just like Christopher Nolan films.

These films are shown in open matte in IMAX theaters. However, most of these films are not shot ''entirely'' in IMAX, causing [[AspectRatioSwitch aspect ratio switches]] when shown in IMAX ratio. No major motion picture so far has been made entirely in IMAX 70mm, mainly due to the cameras being heavy, bulky and loud. The first major motion picture to be made entirely in digital IMAX is ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''[[note]]It wasn't actually the first movie to be fully opened up in IMAX. ''Film/UnderworldAwakening'' was opened up fully back in 2012. However, ''Underworld: Awakening'' and similarly released films weren't filmed with IMAX cameras of any kind.[[/note]]. ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'' and the upcoming ''Film/TheFlash2023'' use 1.90:1 as its normal aspect ratio as opposed to being open matte in IMAX. Starting with ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019'', films could fill an IMAX GT screen without filming on 65mm. Followed by ''Film/Dune2021'' (shot digitally) and ''WesternAnimation/{{Lightyear}}''.
