Actually I prefer if films are composed for 2.35:1 and shown that way. The composition looks better than if you open the mattes. The ideal solution would be to have IMAX in true widescreen ratio, but alas no such luck.
The only way that'll happen is if IMAX is bought by someone and they change their standards to widescreen format for both the cameras and the screens. And there's no way they could shoot it all in IMAX. It'd be way too damn expensive. The fact that they're doing it for 4 action sequences is awesome enough in my opinion. Nolan has said that even on the 35mm print of the film, the fact that they used the clearer IMAX cameras for those 4 scenes means that in a regular theater, those scenes will stand out more than they would otherwise. So even regular theater-goers will get to experience the effect he's going for.
