I had a chance to preview NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience before it opened to the general public on Friday -- such are the perks of being a geek, I guess. On the whole, I thought it was a pretty good movie as far as IMAX movies go, but it wasn't really all that amazing. As with other movies, the aerial photography is where IMAX really shines.
IMAX films are shot in the same aspect ratio as television, not feature films. However, all feature length films that are shown in IMAX undergo a process for adapting them to the larger film format so they do not lose quality as the image is scaled up.
In the future, expect Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to open in IMAX two weeks after its debut in traditional theaters this summer.

My favorite Imax movie so far is Everest. I had just finished reading Into Thin Air a couple of weeks before I saw it, which made the movie all the more intense. The only other two I really remember much about is one about roller coasters and another one about storm chasers.
