This weekend marks the release of Christopher Nolan\u2019s hotly-anticipated adaptation of \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d<\/a> starring Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway. Filmgoers looking to see the film as Nolan intended may feel like they are embarking on an odyssey themselves \u2014 70 mm IMAX showtimes sold out for the film a year in advance<\/a>. There are only 25 theaters in the U.S. equipped to project \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d in 70 mm IMAX, and only one theater in the entire state of Texas.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what to know.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcf0 In case you missed it: <\/p>\n

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

Nolan shot the entirety of \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d on 70 mm IMAX cameras<\/a>, a first for a major Hollywood movie. The film stock used for shooting is 70 mm wide, giving the format its name. This means the size of the film strip provides unmatched sharpness, clarity and depth in the image audiences see. Combine that with a giant IMAX screen, and it\u2019s the biggest way one could see a movie in the theater.<\/p>\n

Nolan previously used the format on \u201cOppenheimer,\u201d \u201cTenet,\u201d \u201cDunkirk,\u201d \u201cInterstellar,\u201d \u201cThe Dark Knight Rises\u201d and \u201cThe Dark Knight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where can you watch \u2018The Odyssey\u2019 in 70 mm IMAX in Texas?<\/p>\n

Cinemark Dallas XD and IMAX<\/a>, located at 11819 Webb Chapel Road in northern Dallas near Interstate 635, is the only theater in the state that has the screen and projector to show this format. Since they\u2019e the only game in town, tickets are sold out for Friday, July 17. Folks might have more luck with future showings, but the next showing with seats available is a 2:30 a.m. showtime on July 20<\/a>.<\/p>\n
