Ever since the change from Soarin' over California to the current version and the replacement of the original IMAX projection system with the digital laser projectors, the bending and distortion of the projection is horrible and removes any sense of realism (unless you are dead center).
The technology to remove the distortion has existed for many years and whatever patents IMAX had have got to be long expired. Is management or Imagineering aware of how terrible this looks? Is there any chance they will invest in the lenses (and likely re-rendering of the video to match the lens) to remove the distortion?
The Eiffel Tower is so bad that I almost burst out laughing but any scene with a tall object shows this effect.
