My nephew only watches movies in a small window on his laptop. I said “wow, you’re a real cinephile, huh?”. He replied with “yeah if that’s a portmanteau of cinema and defile.”
Got my IMAX ratio TV all ready for it.
unlike most conventional film projectors, the film runs horizontally so that the image width can be greater than the width of the film stock.
Nolan could have filmed in any ratio he wanted. Choosing 4:3 is not a technical constraint. He basically chose the opposite of cinemascope.
Watching the Odyssey on the smallest TV you could find on the set Backrooms is really the only way to truly see the film exactly how Nolan originally intended. Unfortunately many of us will have to settle for the profoundly worse experience of going to our local theater or streaming it in our living room.
And isn’t a tiny screen how Nolan watched the dailies while filming? He certainly didn’t have a 50’ screen in his trailer on the beach in Greece.
You are watching it exactly how Nolan watched it.
Since it was shot in film he probably watched it on a projector in a theater.
A daily is a print done the same day as shooting for review. Here’s a film editing station that would be used to review dailies.
Reminder that he didn’t give a fuck about controlling outbreaks of pre vaccine COVID and that he wanted to force people to see Tenet in cinemas.
You know, jam hundreds of people into a closed room for two and a half hours so that you can have super spreader events multiple times a day.
I watched that shit on my phone while sick in bed. Thank you for reminding me that all his films deserve the same treatment.
Eh, still better than AI-riddled CG slop.
What’s the opposite of IMAX?
ISQUINT
UMIN?
IMIN? I CRY?
I’ve been working my way through it via YouTube Shorts. It honestly doesn’t feel as epic as everyone says, to me.
It doesn’t stand up to other Nolan films and the casting is shit, my opinion is to watch Project Hail Mary if you haven’t and rewatch if you did saw it
I’m in a similar boat in I don’t think it was Nolan’s best work (at least, not my favorite of his works), but I don’t see where you’re coming from about the casting. Care to elaborate?
The extreme ends of the casting are “too many black people” and “too many white people” so I guess it boils down to not enough Greek people
I know you’re not making those arguments, you’re just relaying what you’ve seen elsewhere, but I sure do hate to see them being made because they’re always in bad faith. On the one hand, they claim to want ‘historical accuracy’ as if the movie was trying to be a documentary or something, while simultaneously ignoring the historical fact that different peoples have been moving around and intermingling with other peoples since the dawn of civilization. They want to have their (racist) cake and eat it too all under the disguise of “just trying to be accurate”. Also, let’s be real here, as much as celebrity culture can be (and is) a problem in some cases, they are all professional actors, this is their job and most of them are pretty good at it. And if Nolan was forced to cast only native Greek people, not only would that create its own discrimination, but far fewer people would see the movie because there simply aren’t as many familiar faces. Sorry for the rant, I know you personally weren’t making any of those points, I just needed to vent
ah, i see you watch it on IMIN
Solid joke. Took me a second to

Would be even better if it was mounted above a fireplace
I know someone that’s done it like so.
The shadow.
What is this shit with IMAX in The Odyssey etc? Can an American explain us?
If they need a new ratio why they don’t make it a new standard?
My CRT TV back then was 4:3 but for some reason it was too square for the modern industry…
I heard the saying “Watching Interstellar on an Apple Watch”. I almost want to get an Apple watch JUST to try it
IMAX 70mmLCD 70cmwhat’s the Nolan meme here, OOTL
The Odyssey is the first film shot entirely in IMAX film. (1.43:1 aspect ratio)
Ohhh… I see why cinemas might find that hard. Though why didn’t he just crop it?
It is cropped to fit specific screens. Went to pull a graphic showing it and found they actually have a page on the Odyssey movie page showing how the film looks in different aspects
The nuclear explosion in the movie better be shot in imax full frame unlike his previous one.
