Fans hoping to see Christopher Nolan\u2019s new film, \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d which is the first movie shot entirely in IMAX, have a unique option for watching it in San Diego.<\/p>\n

The Eugene Heikoff and Marilyn Jacobs Heikoff Giant Dome Theater at Fleet Science Center is joining the ranks of theaters across the country screening the much-anticipated film.<\/p>\n

The much-anticipated movie, which opens nationwide July 17, is getting rave reviews from critics, including The New York Times, which hailed it<\/a> as \u201ca classic in every sense, a transporting affirmation of the art and a work of pure cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Giant Dome Theater, which features a 76-foot wrap-around screen, no longer uses a 70mm film projector. Instead, it utilizes the\u00a0newer laser projected system IMAX\u00ae Next Generation, an upgrade completed in 2023.<\/a><\/p>\n

The dome theater is typically used for screenings of science-based films \u2014 such as \u201cLost Wolves of Yellowstone\u201d and \u201cSea Otters: A Wild Family Adventure\u201d \u2014 but it does usually show at least one Hollywood wide-release film each year. Previous showings have included \u201cDune\u201d and \u201cF1.\u201d<\/p>\n

The science center, located in Balboa Park, says the film will be in the Giant Dome Theater for just three weekends, and the first weekend is already sold out. Fleet members receive priority seating access.<\/p>\n

The screenings run on weekends through Aug. 2 and cost $24.95 for general admission.<\/p>\n

San Diegans can also find IMAX screenings at AMC Mission Valley, AMC Plaza Bonita, AMC Palm Promenade, Regal Parkway Plaza, Regal Edwards Mira Mesa and Regal Escondido.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fans hoping to see Christopher Nolan\u2019s new film, \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d which is the first movie shot entirely in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":401527,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[1399,74,76,75,420,1696],"class_list":["post-401526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-movies","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-things-to-do","tag-top-stories-sdut"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401526\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/401527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
