Christopher Nolan’s *The Odyssey* is coming to theaters very soon: here are the best places to see it in Guadalajara.
If you want to see it the way the director envisioned it, there are several options to choose from—ranging from IMAX screens to a 35mm screening.
Christopher Nolan has championed the traditional cinematic experience for years, and with *The Odyssey*, he’s once again opting for analog formats.
In Guadalajara, there will be a very special opportunity to experience it: the Cineforo at the University of Guadalajara will be the only venue in the city where it can be seen in 35 mm.
What’s so special about watching it in 35 mm or IMAX?
Although almost all movies are now screened digitally, 35 mm uses physical film stock—the same technology used for decades to screen the great classics of cinema.
Instead of playing a digital file, a projector passes light through each frame, creating an image with texture, depth, and that characteristic film grain.
Watching *The Odyssey* in 35 mm means enjoying a screening with a more organic look that’s closer to the traditional cinema experience—a format that’s becoming increasingly hard to find these days.
In IMAX, the experience changes completely: the enormous screen, high resolution, and surround sound allow you to better appreciate the landscapes, the scale of the scenes, and the details of a film that Christopher Nolan shot primarily with 70 mm IMAX cameras.
