Why do they do that?
What is that word they keep using in their marketin: "Immersive!" they want you to feel that you are inside the movie, by having the picture continue beyond your primary field of vision. Your are not supposed to turn your head to look at it. your are just supposed to feel out of the corner of your eyes. When you look at scans of IMAX film you will notice that the top and the bottom of the image almost never has any necessary picture elements. It is mostly just more grass and more sky. Or sometimes the top of a hat.
So when they show The Odyssey in IMAX 70/15 is more like a gimmick "Because we can" it is not "How the film was meant to be seen"

4/? #TheOdyssey In #IMAX Rant continues: Christopher Nolan knows that most most people will watch the movie in their local theater and he shot the movie accordingly. I saw a video in youtube where he talks at great length about how wonderful dolby vision is and how beautiful the 35 mm prints are. But why did he shoot the movie in IMAX 70/15 if he knew that very few people will see it like that? There are only 43 (i think) cinemas in the world. #Cinema #Film Continues:
