The purest form of Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" can only be seen in 25 U.S. theaters — and none of them are in New Orleans.
Yes, but: You can get pretty close.
Context: Nolan's preferred presentation format can only be shown on 70mm IMAX screens, which offer the highest-quality image and sound from the original film.
Zoom in: The New Orleans area has IMAX-equipped theaters, including at AMC's West Bank, Elmwood and Clearview locations. But they don't have the 70mm version of the film.
For that, you'd have to go to The Prytania Uptown, which does have the movie in 70mm but without the IMAX screen.
Catch up quick: "Odyssey" was the first narrative film to be shot entirely using IMAX cameras, according to IMAX, and Nolan fans are going bonkers over it.
Some people bought tickets a year ago, others delayed their pregnancies or went on cross-country road trips to see the film in its proper format, Variety reports.
