I've read about a screen door effect on the picture with some of these liemax theaters. Has anyone experienced that?

IMAX with Laser
In 2015, Imax Corporation began the rollout of its next-generation digital projection system, which uses two Barco 4K laser-illuminated projectors. It has an aspect ratio of 1.43, achieved with a vertical anamorphic stretch of the standard 1.9-ratio 4K image. It is designed to replace 15/70 film projection in the largest IMAX theaters, with screens over 80 feet (24 meters) wide.
While the one in DC is the original. But not updated
Originally developed by the Imax Corporation in 1970, this format uses 70mm film run through the projector horizontally, so that the width of the film is the height of the frame. In all other LF and conventional formats, the film runs vertically, so that the width of the film is the width of the frame.
Each frame is 15 perforations wide, hence 15/70. The area of the frame is about 52mm high by 70mm wide (2 inches by 2.75 inches).
The 15/70 frame is almost nine times larger than the conventional 35mm frame (below). It is slightly less than twice as large as 8/70.
Imax Corp. was long the exclusive maker of 15/70 projectors and cameras, although a few other manufacturers briefly made 15/70 systems.

I've only experienced this when they would play non-optimized IMAX movies on the screen years back (during special premieres, festivals, whatever) and for some reason I can remember that it was really noticeable in Iron Man 2 (probably due to poor optimization).

You mean for IM2 or in general? Outside of the screen-door effect being pretty visible, everything else was fine. And like I said, I've only noticed any issues years back when IMAX first started getting big and every studio started forcing IMAX releases. Kinda like when 3D got big and studios started rushing 3D post-conversion to get in on the hype and make them shyts unwatchable.

Nothing is wrong with LIeMAX films except the cost.

It's most likely Liemax but for me.. the picture quality is definitely superior to that of a regular joint and the sound is awesome.
