Why So Much Drama On Nolan’s Odyssey Screening?

In a couple of days from now, the world will be witnessing one of the most anticipated films in recent times in the form of The Odyssey, which is directed by legendary Christopher Nolan. This film is going to release in theatres on July 17.

In the meanwhile, there is a full-fledged drama that is unfolding on social media with regard to the screening capabilities of this film.

There are multiple posts about how there are only 40 screens that run IMAX film that can fully show the potential of this Nolan film that was entirely shot on IMAX camera. On the other hand, a section of Indians are debating what would be the best screen to watch the film.

There are these multiple post about how Indian IMAX screens cannot match the viewing experience of original IMAX while others are discussing the bitrate and actual film footage size of the film.

There are literally thousands of posts regarding the technical aspects of the screening of this film, and it needs to be said that this is getting out of hand.

Nearly half of the viewers, who would actually end up watching this film, but not even bother about the technical aspects of this. But there is this small section, which is making a big meal out of the technical aspects and ratio mechanisms on social media.

We don’t quite know if this is a geeky thing to portray themselves as a cinema buff or whether they actually have so much idea of filmmaking and its technical aspects. But all the conversation that is happening on social media is simply too much to process.
