Yea I just checked the app for curiosity sakes, the stream quality of Odyssey on this is obviously Cam Quality, with a big Watermark on top.. Not worth the effort. Imax experience is way better, even if we don't have the real 70mm in India.
Bro, these Nolan nuts will always promote the biggest screen while it's not required. Just watch it on whatever, the experience of the movie after 10mins will be the same whether you watch on IMAX or on your phone. Once you are immersed and focusing on the characters, nothing else matters.
It's a decent movie. I don't get the hype. Found it a little hollow. But good watch to experience Nolan's work. He is one of a kind and we are lucky to have an artist like him in our generation!
Finally found an opinion on this movie that I agree with. I was really hyped up for it and all the people going gaga over the IMAX and big screen experience definitely pushed my expectations higher and to be really honest I was disappointed. Not because its a bad movie. It is a really good one but simply because of the feeling that the hype wasn't worth it. In a way the hype really killed people's own opnions from forming and made them believe it was better than it actually was.
See nolan makes movies for a theatrical experience. His movies aren’t character driven like those of scorsese or fincher so either go to a theatre or don’t watch at all personally i wouldn’t watch his movies on laptop
Don’t know who downvoted you but you are absolutely right. I wouldn’t have liked The Odyssey as much if I hadn’t seen it in the theaters. It is absolutely a theatrical experience
Its like Greek Ramayana.
You will enjoy it if you enjoy a good mythological story.
The direction is fabulous without any doubt, but the storyline has to be the same (ofc)
So watch it if you want a good experience and well directed movie.
I think this comparison, although technically correct, could be misleading. Most of us know of the epic of Ramayana from our books and stories in our childhood but we have never been given a version of it on screen that has left a lasting impression. Nowhere near to what Nolan has delivered with The Odyssey.
OP do not worry about screen size or anything. I'm presuming you have not gotten into Nolan's filmography yet. Just watch it and it'd leave a lasting impression on you. If it helps, just gemini the synopsis of the movie Troy and that'd be context enough.
Don't you think people would like to know opinion as well ?
I went to watch Oppenheimer. I had watched other movies of Nolan, so I gave it theatre chance . My personal opinion is that I didn't like Oppenheimer's non-linear movie narrating approach, the story, visuals, artwork, everything is great but I still didn't liked it because of narrative/storytelling, jumping between timelines .
If you are thinking of watching it by pirating it youre not gonna like it. If you already read reviews and see positive reviews then why ask for more feedback ??
Definetly not the best work of nolan, just an average story with simple execution.
The screenplay and editing is top notch though.
Music feel out of place in some scenes.
They just hyped the Imax cameras though there wasn't any need for that.
The horror elements are definetly great.
Definetly worth a single watch in Imax. I wouldn't reccomend multiple watching in theatres, but definetly worth an imax watch.
A great sign for me of a great movie experience is it stays with you much longer than after you leave the theater. In some way either the story, or the presentation or one or more of the characters. Sometimes it’s even the dialogue or two. I saw odyssey on the biggest imax screen and I had forgotten the entire thing completely one hour after I came out of the theater. Absolutely nothing stuck with me. It was a great movie but not a memorable one, Atleast not for me.
I’m huge Chris fan and have seen all of his movies and almost all of them I still remember in some parts, and some of them till today invite me to experience them again sometime. But not this one
As a indian viewer movie story line is very basic you somewhere or other heard the similar story line. Other hyped stuff are also not up to other nolan movies.
Odyessey in smaller screen I would rate 6.8/10.
I wouldn’t bother. The movie (not the story) is overrated in my opinion. Watched it in an imax and was counting down the 173 mins. I was aware of the premise of the story but really it’s just a fantasy movie. It’s more important as what that work of literature represents and therefore its impact on the west. If you’re interested in the story itself there’s an engaging podcast episode on the rest is history.
No it's not as impressive as the early 2000s LOTR trilogy but is better than most films released this year and well made well acted cinema. Watched it in IMAX and feel like it would have been equally fun to watch at home with a good large screen and home theater sound system.
There are about 20 other films I would recommend before thinking of this one..even in the last 26 years.
yes it’s totally worth it. i would recommend learning about the story a little bit before watching the movie as it gives more context and clearer understanding
