Since when were we talking about challenge? We were talking about imagination.
As for the imagination, all a movie does is provide image and audio to SUPPLEMENT a story. It does not limit the imagination that a viewer has. As has been said it is down to the person who is trying to imagine. Some people find books incredibly difficult to draw imagination from, others find movies much the same and vice versa.
Talking about 'evidence' in this respect is pointless because imagination is subjective, so you are asking a question which you know cannot be answered. I can easily ask you to do the same: provide me with evidence that books require more imagination than movies.
The absence of 'expressed A/V aspects' doesn't in fact 'necessarily demand' more of the imaginative process. Movies and games can leave just as much up to the imagination of the viewer. Unless you can show me evidence to the contrary
