The Odyssey<\/a> is one of the most highly anticipated movie releases of the year, with a star-studded cast including Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Patterson, and Tom Holland. The newest rendition of the epic tale is directed by Christopher Nolan<\/a> and was shot entirely using 70mm IMAX. After months of anticipation, the movie is set to release this Thursday, July 16. Here\u2019s where to see it in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Where to see The Odyssey on 70mm IMAX in San Francisco <\/p>\n

Luckily, San Francisco is home to one of the few theaters in the country that offers 70mm IMAX screenings. The AMC Metreon 16 will show the film in 70mm IMAX, but tickets will go fast for the preferred screening method. If you can\u2019t make it to a 70mm IMAX showing, you can still see the movie in either 70mm or IMAX at various theaters throughout the Bay Area. <\/p>\n

Here are the theaters showing The Odyssey in 70mm <\/p>\n

AMC Kabuki 8<\/p>\n

What is 70mm and IMAX? <\/p>\n

Standard movies are shot on 35mm, which means 70mm is twice as large, resulting in sharper images, higher resolution, and clearer colors. IMAX has a much larger aspect ratio than standard digital viewing, along with a massive curved screen and high-quality sound systems. A movie shown on 70mm IMAX is typically seen as the \u201cgold standard\u201d for viewing, although both 70mm and IMAX are noted for enhancing viewing experiences compared to standard formats. <\/p>\n
