As it turns out, there\u2019s a reason why watching the film in IMAX 70mm has become such a challenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/the-odyssey\/\">The Odyssey<\/a> is the first commercial feature film to be shot entirely on <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/07\/21\/the-odyssey-imax-is-almost-impossible-to-book-right-now-but-dont-panic-just-yet\/\">IMAX 70mm film cameras<\/a>. It\u2019s something Nolan had always wanted to do, so it\u2019s easy to see why he chose Homer\u2019s 3,000-year-old epic to finally make it a reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scale and visual detail is on another level, but it also means screenings are limited.

Most IMAX cinemas today use digital or laser projectors that are comparatively easy to build and repair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/07\/16\/ok-do-you-actually-need-to-watch-the-odyssey-in-imax-70mm-heres-what-the-difference-is\/\">IMAX 70mm<\/a> still relies on projector technology dating back to the late 1960s. As such, almost nobody still manufactures them or has the specialist knowledge needed to maintain them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMost IMAX use dual 2K digital projectors on a 1.90:1 aspect ratio screen &#8211; technology that is comparatively easy to build and repair,\u201d wrote Paul.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTrue 70mm IMAX projectors are a different story.

Instead of arriving as a single reel, IMAX 70mm prints are shipped to cinemas in multiple sections before being painstakingly hand-spliced together into one enormous platter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The four-to-six foot-wide platters have to be handled with a special forklift. \u201cA 2.5 hour film reel easily spans nearly 10 miles long, weighs around 550 pounds, and costs about $36,000 to print,\u201d Paul added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each image on IMAX 70mm film is around 10 times larger than a standard 35mm movie frame, and the film runs horizontally through the projector using 15 perforations for every image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s no wonder Nolan\u2019s IMAX advisor told him he <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/07\/17\/the-odyssey-runtime-explained-imax-70mm-restriction-christopher-nolan\/\">couldn\u2019t go over the three-hour mark<\/a> (The Odyssey clocks in at two hours and 52 minutes, so it\u2019s still a huge feat).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6888\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6888\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6888\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/07\/24.jpg\" alt=\"Christopher Nolan filming The Odyssey\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/07\/24.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/07\/24-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/07\/24-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6888\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Universal Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply put, this isn\u2019t a format that can be recreated or rejigged for a modern production line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, many IMAX 70mm projectionists have spent years learning to operate the machines. As more cinemas switched to digital projection, much of that expertise disappeared, leaving very few people capable of handling the remaining systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The success of The Odyssey has shown there&#8217;s still huge demand for the premium format, and IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond has said the company will continue retrofitting and maintaining projectors wherever it makes sense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But with relatively few films released in IMAX 70mm each year, expanding the network remains a slow and expensive process.
