No it isn't. Every other big movie i have seen in IMAX have all kept their OAR to what we get in regular theaters. (Spiderman 2, Batman Begins, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Poseidon, 300, Superman Returns, Harry Potter:OoTP, Polar Express, and Matrix Reloaded being the ones i have seen) Only 4 scenes will be opened up to the full IMAX screen size before being brought back to their Scope setting afterwards.
Their is no masking movements during these scenes. The screen is always left open to its full potential. So you will get the entire screen filled for the 4 scenes filmed in IMAX film and then the rest will have the small black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. If its anything like my Batman Begins experience (which again stayed in the just the plain SCOPE ratio) we are in for a treat.
