I enjoyed Dolby Cinema over IMAX 70mm

I’m likely the odd one out here, but I recently went to watch The Odyssey in both Dolby Cinema and IMAX 70mm formats and found that I enjoyed Dolby Cinema quite a bit more. I think I see the appeal of IMAX 70mm, but the Dolby Cinema picture quality and seat comfort (including reclining seat back with footrests) are just too compelling for me. I may have also had unrealistic expectations for 70mm given how high demand tickets are and how folks and Nolan have really lauded IMAX. In terms of sound, I don’t have a strong preference there.

I suspect “full immersion” is the draw for 70mm, but I love sitting one row up from the ground level for Dolby Cinema and find that incredibly immersive and comfortable.

No shade on those who prefer 70mm or other formats, and this is just one person’s opinion.

Crossing swords

I hope it’s okay to post this here. Snapped a pic of these two planes, one 787 landing and a 737 A320 (I believe) taxiing in preparation for takeoff.

Edit: Corrected the second plane type thanks to someone's sharp eye

Jetblue plane temps - do they run a bit warmer?

I usually fly United and just flew jetBlue for the first time in many years. During both legs of my flight, the plane felt uncomfortably warm. It wasn't an unsafe temperature by any means, but it was definitely warm even with air vents fully opened. Other people in my party mentioned they were also quite warm and uncomfortable. I noticed nearly no passengers used blankets / jackets / covering during the flight, even for one of the red eye flight legs. Does Jetblue tend to run its planes warmer (than say United)?

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback, sounds like this may have been a one-off with my flights. Not sure why I received downvotes for a genuine (albeit silly?) question, but I appreciate those who chimed in to help me.

EDIT 2: I forgot to mention that the flight attendant on one of the flights made an announcement to leave the air vents fully open before disembarking in order to cool down the plane.
