I have virtually zero knowledge of The Odyssey as a Greek mythology, save for a few recognisable names like the Helen of Troy, the Trojan War etc. I do want to enjoy the movie to its fullest, and if learning about the plot material is essential to it, then so be it. Is there a good resource giving a summarized version of the plot enough to understand the film? If so, I would really appreciate it if you shared it here.
apparently you’re seeing some adulterated version unless you can attend/afford one of 41 theatres in the world

Looked into going to the closest one near me, at €32 per ticket every showing was sold out for at least a week. But I’ve never had the full IMAX experience before.
I think I’d be willing to pay double the regular ticket price to try it out for once but full theaters can be a genuine dealbreaker.
i’m fine with that, i can’t stand imax theaters. way too loud and you get neck pain from the size of the screen.
Depends on the type of IMAX and movie. For a movie like this, the full dome isn’t as good as the imax 70.
i don’t have any idea what that means. all i know is, the only times i’ve been to an imax it was cramped, hot, and loud, the stairs were dangerously steep, the theatre seated like 50 people, and you had to constantly look around to follow what was happening because rather than filming in a way that supports a large screen, e.g. a small focus area with immersive backgrounds around it, they film it like normal with closeups, dynamic camera angles swooping around during action, and two-camera conversations.
you just felt like a fly spying on giant people. an ambilight tv and a pair of headphones would have been more immersive.
Fewer than that. The San Antonio IMAX has had issues and since they no longer make them, may be out of commission forever.
Clarification: they had a 70mm film projector.
