@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.

@dthompson no disrespect intended, but couldn't they just use different lenses or distances to project a bigger image? What is it about the film? This is probably a very stupid question lol

@strawburster bigger film = more information. if you projected 35mm and 70mm to the same size, the 70mm will be sharper.
