00:00That's what you'll see when you go see the Odyssey at the cinema.
00:02And that's what Christopher Nolan would have liked you to see, let me explain everything.
00:06Indeed, you are all going to go to the classic cinema,
00:07with an image that is a long horizontal rectangle,
00:09where your eye will wander from left to right.
00:11But the Odyssey is special; it's a film that was shot on 70mm film.
00:14And in this format, the image unfolds upwards and downwards.
00:17to become almost a large square.
00:18That literally adds 40% more images.
00:21and completely transforms certain scenes.
00:23In cinema, the goal is to fill your peripheral vision so that you forget the edges of the screen.
00:26Christopher Nolan told him that it's the highest level of image quality ever invented.
00:29Nothing compares to that; the film sees almost like the human eye.
00:32So naturally you want to try the experience,
00:34And the only IMAX 70mm cinema in France is the Pathé Odisseum in Montpellier.
00:38In this case, it lives up to its name; otherwise, there are two other options.
00:41Kinépolis Brussels, as well as the Science Museum in London, accessible via Eurostar.
00:44But then why not simply project the film with the black bars on the side?
00:47In order to get the whole image?
00:48And for several reasons, firstly IMAX is a company,
00:51and it simply does not allow operators to distribute its version.
00:53But in any case, the experience would not be optimal at all.
00:55Because IMAX isn't just about the screen, it's also about the geometry of the theater.
00:58with very steep tiers close to the canvas,
00:59a slightly curved screen, and ultimately it would create a shrinking effect.
01:02With the large black bars, the image would appear very small.
01:04So what do you think? Don't forget to subscribe.
