Saw it 2 weeks ago at the Seattle Boeing IMAX, the only "true" IMAX where I live, with the only rival being the full 70mm capable Cinerama. BR 2049 was specially re-formatted for the 12-story IMAX screen rather than being run at the wide theatrical aspect ratio, and it was my intention to see it the best way possible.
The steep IMAX seating worked really well with the giant flyovers; you feel like you're flying yourself because it feels like you're above the screen already.
The IMAX audio presentation is also pretty much unmatched; the booming, rumbling score and SFX were rumbling the whole theater but there was no clipping or distortion even when it felt like everything might just fall apart.
Definitely in my top 5 in-cinema experiences ever, just for the A/V experience alone. But all around my favorite movie this year. If you can, catch it at a full-on IMAX.
