MAITLAND, Fla. \u2014 \u2018The Odyssey\u2019, the latest epic adapted to screen by director Christopher Nolan, topped the world-wide box office<\/a> over the weekend with over $264 million. But locally, it turned into a real odyssey for movie goers.<\/p>\n

The Enzian Theater in Maitland debuted their 70mm capabilities this weekend with the blockbuster, joining only 10 other theaters in the state<\/a> capable of projecting the movie in that format. <\/p>\n

But what was supposed to be a step forward for the art-house theater known for hosting the Florida Film Festival<\/a>, turned into a series of mistakes, starting with the debut of the movie.<\/p>\n

According to movie goers, the projection of the movie was out of focus with one commenter on the Orlando subreddit<\/a> saying that, \u201c…half the film did not have proper focus…\u201d. <\/p>\n

Another attendee stated that when they attended a note had been posted stating:<\/p>\n

ATTENTION:<\/p>\n

There are moments of this film that may appear out of focus. This is not a defect of the film print or issue with projection. Thank you for your understanding! <\/p>\n

\u2014 \u00a0-Thanks, The Management<\/p>\n

After continued complaints, and comparisons to other 70mm projections, it was realized it with was an issue with the projection. The Enzian issuing a retraction via email to movie goers offering a free movie ticket and some concessions to a future viewing of the movie if any of those movie goers were dissatisfied with their experience.<\/p>\n

Since the debut, their have been no complaints about the quality of the projection or the movie itself.<\/a> <\/p>\n
