And watched #TheOdyssey in IMAX 70mm as it intended to being watched. The quality of picture is impressive, and size is too, there of course were signs of wear after almost 2 months of screenings, but not much noticable scratches, usual thing for film projections and noticable only in more boring scenes.
In most scenes additional height not convey any information, but it better immerse you inside the picture.
Action scenes are overwhelming, when action is on all space of large screen, it quickly overwhelms mind and it shut downs till the end of the scene and not register what is happening. The scene with giants now was fully viewable. The last action scene is great too, add more details even if on smaller screen did notice that they are lacking.
The scenes with transformation and cyclops slightly more immersive, but they are impressive on standard screens too.
It was great experience but not sure that will repeat this for another movie, flying in another country to see it on 70mm projection, but we wi

So, I watched both movies over the weekend with those 3 actors for the second time, movies that already made $2 billion gross together.Watched #TheOdyssey on an ordinary IMAX screen. I was a bit sleepy, so I didn't feel many emotions. The movie was still engaging and not boring. Most of sceens were look ok on the 1.9 screen. The giants action scene felt like it needed the 1.43, since many things were cropped and maybe 1-2 similar thing where noticible in more static scenes. It was physically painful to observe the lightning scene. It didn't have such an effect in ordinari cinema screen because maybe there is less or no ambient light in the IMAX hall.
Then watched #SpiderManBrandNewDay in 4DX. I haven't been in 4DX for almost 5 years, so it was mostly a refreshing experience. Refreshing that those seats weren't made for my height and I can't sit in them fully for the entire screening without pain in one place. The initial flying scene was even more immersive because of the wind you feel yourself. Action fights are okayish, but it's just the same rapid movements of the chair and pushes into the back. I think it was the first time when I noticed the smell in 4DX, the smell of fish in the dock, even didn't get at first that it's part of the movie presentation.
Looking forward to watching both movies one more time, especially The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm, but with current craziness, it's hard to get good seat tickets there. We'll see.
