No, regular movies shown in IMAX are usually just the regular version all blown up huge, and maybe cropped? So it's idiotic, it's like someone with a huge "home theater system" projecting a regular DVD and being all proud of himself. The "correct" experience in those cases is a regular theater. It's very rare that a movie is shot specifically on 70mm or IMAX.
In this case I guess the IMAX 70mm is the "real" thing, which is annoying. Nolan is likely conscious of framing it properly for other formats too though.
EDIT: So the "aspect ratio" portion of the question I'm unclear on. I'm not sure if Watchmen in IMAX is cropped, for example. The directors are almost certainly "neglecting IMAX" in cases like that.

Yea.
