A large opening weekend wouldn't be too surprising. Nolan typically makes very good films, he draws in audiences, and most people won't know nor care anything about the controversial casting decisions.
What will be interesting to see though is what kind of legs Odyssey has. The trailers still haven't grabbed my interest in the slightest, and I love most of Nolan's films. Will it get good word of mouth from public reviews? Or will it decline sharply due to negative word of mouth after the open?![]()
Two concerns, aspect ratio and resolution.I have a choice between imax or 70mm, alas not imax 70mm (maybe, not sure our screen is legit). Not really sure what the difference for this film will be.
Not all of us have an IMAX theater in our mansion....fuckerTwo concerns, aspect ratio and resolution.
It was shot in 1.43:1 70mm imax. Regular imax is 1.9:1. Regular 70mm is 2.2:1.
Despite that, traditional 70mm will be a great way to see it due to the very high resolution of 5 perf 70mm film, effectively 8K, as long as the theater also has premium sound. That'll beat out a typical imax projector which is 2k or 4K w/ Laser designation.
The aspect ratio is not a huge deal since it was composed for all formats.
I'm seeing it in 5 perf 70mm first and then in imax 70mm 15 perf.

My local IMAX is actually reinstalling its 70mm IMAX projector just for this movie. It normally uses dual-laser IMAX.Two concerns, aspect ratio and resolution.

She isn't Moesha. I'd fight for Moesha.Also, most of you guys are borderline homosexual if you think Lupita is ugly.
She is STUNNING, 10 out of 10 face. Her beauty is worthy of Helen.

The problem with Lupita is she doesn't fit the classical short hair African hairstyle, and she uses it all the time. Makes her look like a little boy.

Probably the guy that helped Nolan write the script.
For 10 seconds I thought this was the real casting. What happened with the world...
Is it wrong that for a few seconds I thought this was real and my inner monologue was "well ... he looks like a Hector"?
I did so too lol. My first thought wasn't that it was fake, it was something like "of course they did". Goes to show what a clusterfuck this is.For 10 seconds I thought this was the real casting. What happened with the world...
Ahead of Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey, the Greek epic is getting another reimagining courtesy of artificial intelligence.
Michael Caine's AI clone has voiced an audiobook version of Homer's poem, alongside a full cast of other AI voices and music.
The adaptation is available for free on the ElevenReader from ElevenLabs, the AI audio company that counts Matthew McConaughey among its investors.
