Every frame of Christopher Nolan‘s “The Odyssey” was shot in Imax. But choosing a theater to watch the movie in is a little more complicated, since the epic film is coming to theaters in several formats.
With tickets going on sale Thursday, “The Odyssey’s” website has provided a guide which shows how the film will be presented, from 70mm Imax to premium large format. Each guide features the cast walking though the formats, and the trailer is presented showing framing and composition.
Explaining the film’s Imax 70mm format, star Matt Damon said in a video: “Each film frame has 15 perforations, runs horizontally through the projector, making it the largest format available. Every frame was shot in Imax, and when you’re in the theater, you’ll feel the full impact of how it was shot.”
Anne Hathaway explains, “The film was shot and designed to be experienced on the biggest screen possible, and Imax delivers on this. It fills your entire field of vision, immersing you fully for the best cinematic experience.”
As previously announced, Nolan is making film history with the first narrative feature shot entirely with Imax cameras.
