They're upscaled to IMAX? How exactly does that work and how is it an advantage over traditional film? I also thought that it was only the vertical resolution that was affected by aspect ratio. Does upscaling affect film more than digital video? Because upscaling doesn't usually affect image quality.

Do you think digital videocameras will replace film? Is there any reason why it hasn't yet?

It's called IMAX DMR but has it's limitations... and I don't know how they do it.. it's propetairy..
Well you wouldn't really noticed a difference when an entire movie is upscaled.. but have you seen the Dark Knight Rises in a IMAX theater?
There was a noticable difference between the IMAX camera shot scene's and the traditional 35MM.. the 35MM scenes were upscaled to IMAX resolution.. it looked good but the difference in the amount of detail you could see in the IMAX camera shot scenes was noticable..

Digital 4k Camera will replace film, but they are expensive, and they are technically not as good yet.. (4K can max 30 fps but when you want nice slowmotion, fast chase scenes you want to use more fps)  also movie theaters are not equipped with 4k projecters.. most of them have 2k projecters.. so there isn't a need for 4K within the next years
