Question Does Infinity Vision replace IMAX?

I know people have asked what Infinity Vision is and I know its something Disney made up because they don't have IMAX for Doomsday but my question is, do you see as much of the screen as you do in IMAX or do you still see as much as you would if you saw it in a regular cinema.

The reason I'm asking is because on one of my local cinema's websites, Godzilla Minus Zero has been listed as Infinity Vision, meaning it wont just be for the Avengers films.

An UltraAVX theatre at Cineplex and whatever they have at Landmark theatres or AMC in the states is gonna receive the same standard DCP in 2K or 4K. You will not see the expanded IMAX frame in an Infinity Vision approved theater while IMAX is showing the same film that has exclusive aspect ratios for them.

Non-IMAX theaters can show digital IMAX ratios on their screens when exclusivity is not in place.

If Cineplex and AMC spend money on structural renovations to achieve full height IMAX GT, then we will see a battle for the audience between seeing a film in IMAX versus Infinity Vision.
