Where to see "The Odyssey" in Seattle in 70mm

Yes, but: The 70mm format being shown at the two Seattle theaters isn't 70mm IMAX, which is director Christopher Nolan's preferred format for viewing the film.

Catch up quick: "The Odyssey" was the first narrative film to be shot entirely using IMAX cameras, according to IMAX.

• The format offers the the highest-quality image and sound from the original film.
• Very few theaters worldwide can project 70mm IMAX film.
• The IMAX website lists 25 operating U.S. theaters equipped with 70mm IMAX screens, none of which are in Seattle.

The other side: You can still check out "The Odyssey" at other theaters. You just won't see the film as Nolan intended.

• Moviegoers can see the film in IMAX digital and "exhibitor PLFs" — large screen formats developed by theater chains like Regal RPX and Cinemark XD.
• It'll also be available in Dolby Cinema.

If you go: SIFF's 70mm screenings of "The Odyssey" run through July 26 and again July 31–Aug. 2.

Editor's note: This story has been corrected to reflect that the showings at SIFF Cinema Downtown and Pacific Place 11 are in 70mm (not 70mm IMAX).
