Due to the physical limitation of the size of the reel in the projector, IMAX reels are a maximum of 120 minutes in length. Apollo 13 as shown in conventional theaters was 140 minutes, and Star Wars:Episode II was 143 before editing. I saw SW:E2, and was disappointed too, but it will not prevent me from seeing Matrix II.
