I figured that 70mm screenings of The Odyssey would be around for awhile due to popular demand but it's leaving my nearest 70mm IMAX theater at the end of the month so I reserved some okayish seats. Would have bought earlier had I realized.

@dthompson I didn't know you were a film buff. What's the draw of 70mm?

@strawburster there's a novelty to it. 70mm imax film is physically huge. only ~40 theaters in the world have the equipment to screen it. the odyssey is the first to use it for the entire film. I've only ever seen digital imax so I'm curious how it compares.
