In it I argue that although the IMAX corporation is not technically responsible for the programming decisions its operators make, their brand still rightfully takes a hit when a theatre chooses to enforce Creationist censorship.
I advocate that every secularist concerned about this issue should write to their local IMAX theatre operator and ask to know whether the operator's programming policy strongly resists attempts to censor film with Darwinist content. If not, consider whether your science-entertainment dollar might be better spent elsewhere.
You have to do this at the local theatre level because the IMAX corporation has no stated committment to endeavour protect its science-based brand from the encroachments of Christian fundamentalists
Don't let the fundamentalists win the consumer boycott war - hold the IMAX brand to account!
