Episode Details

Christopher Nolan’s groundbreaking new film, “The Odyssey,” is the first ever shot entirely on IMAX film — a decades-in-the-making dream fueled by childhood museum visits and a relentless pursuit of cinematic immersion. Overcoming the deafening noise of IMAX cameras, Nolan’s team engineered a soundproof “blimp” casing, allowing dialogue scenes to be filmed — while still wrestling with 300-pound rigs and film reloads every few minutes. The result? A visceral, 3D-like experience without glasses, where the screen vanishes and your peripheral vision fills with stunning clarity. Nolan, who’s used IMAX since “The Dark Knight,” insists the format’s unmatched resolution — now enhanced by the extra millimeter for sound — demands meticulous shot planning and adaptive framing for every screen size. Though only 32 theaters in the U.S. and Canada show the 70mm print (and tickets vanish fast), Nolan champions it as the pinnacle of cinema — and even his digital conversions are engineered to elevate every theater’s presentation.
