Is there any chance they will randomize these object placement to make every survival run even more unique? Or maybe even procedurally generate almost the entire world?
I’m asking people who own it and can compare it to other pool games on PC and consoles. Does the current version also include local multiplayer?
It's the first Nolan film where I felt it required a longer runtime.
2h 52min wasn't enough for this masterpiece because the story has so many main characters and so many locations where the adventures took place.
Please don't tell me Nolan wouldn't have wanted the film to be longer, and that Oppenheimer being longer is proof of that...
The length of The Odyssey represents the absolute maximum capacity that a cinema's IMAX platter can handle. For Oppenheimer, this platter had to be modified in every theater, which required technical interventions and didn't come without issues.
Nolan or the studio behind the film didn't want to deal with any problems this time, given that this is the very first IMAX film shot entirely on IMAX cameras from start to finish.
Was The Odyssey even released digitally in full aspect ratio?
Everywhere - including official websites and forums - people only talk about IMAX 70mm, which is full 1.43:1 IMAX.
However, there are also full digital 1.43:1 IMAX theaters that are 4K and use dual-laser systems, unlike the smaller 1.90:1 IMAX screens (commonly referred to as 'LieMAX').
Last year I paid for the 4K Netflix plan and the bitrate for all 4K content was almost up to 18Mbps.
A month ago I subscribed to Netflix again, but only the Full HD plan. All the content is 0.45Mbps. Some was 1.2Mbps or 0.35Mbps.
I know that the AV1 codec is being used now, which is more efficient than HEVC, but I don't think to this extent.
Basically, I have a 40 times lower bitrate than last year with the 4K plan (I don't know if it was HEVC or AV1 back then).
You can check the bitrate by pressing the “i” button on the remote while watching Netflix.
I saw this masterpiece in a standard theater (aspect ratio 2.39:1).
I don't have access to a full IMAX (1.43:1) or even the smaller IMAX (1.90:1) – the so-called 'LieMAX'. (It's difficult for me to travel, and the standard theater is right next to me.)
I have to say, I was worried the movie would be heavily cropped at the top and bottom, and that turned out to be True…
Close-up shots of faces had heads cut off. In the scenes with >!the Cyclop,!< I feel like I didn't see what I was supposed to see. These scenes were horror and great but because of the image crop, I think the viewer missed out on a lot.
My local theater used a 4K projector (Christie 4K), but I don’t know if the DCP they screened was a 4K crop; it might have been just 2K.
The movie has a lot of darker scenes where the standard projector couldn't handle the black levels, making objects look dark gray and underexposed. Also, the sound (specifically the dialogue) felt a bit unnatural at times.
As expected, the movie is a masterpiece, but if you have the chance to see it even in a smaller IMAX (1.90:1), I highly recommend that over a standard theater mainly due to the smaller image crop.
I think they shot around 90 hours of footage. If analog projectors didn't have capacity limits, the movie would run way longer than 2h 52m.

I've always only used the left stick.
The question is:
What does the right stick do?
With the left stick, I can change the draw/fade intensity and also the spin (ball flight/height).
And even if I max out the spin (or shot height) with left stick, can I increase it even further with the right stick? I don't understand how this mechanic works 👀
I bought the 1080p Netflix plan few weeks ago. Every movie/show I tried has 0.45. Constantly. My internet is fast.
When I had the 4K plan 6 months ago, the bitrate was nearly 18Mbps for 4K video on the same TV.
Is it normal ?
This is the screen after failing the scenario in campaign.
Unfortunately, autosave cannot be turned off on consoles, so the last available save is usually useless (no chance of succeeding because the last save is usually just before the failure).
That's why I want to load an older save. But can that only be done through the game Menu after leaving this screen?
//
At the same time, the 'Play again' option doesn't restart the entire scenario from the beginning, but only from the save that was loaded when I started the scenario. I don't know if this is a bug, but I had to leave the screen and restart the scenario through the main menu.
Example: Controller. If I have units on multiple fronts and during a battle on one front I make a selection using the blue circle (many unit types), how do I select only the archers (1 unit type) from that selection so I can move them somewhere else?
I have archers on multiple fronts, so I can't use the 'select all units' command. I can't use control groups either, because I won't remember which group of units is where on the wheel (advanced interface) when they are scattered all over the map.
These same rumors were circulating last year, and I can't remember whether they were around the year before as well. We're talking about a physically moving miniature aperture mechanism inside the lens.
Considering how many people treat their iPhones as if they were free and how damaged they often look after being dropped, I'm not sure Apple would introduce something that could be more prone to mechanical failure. Besides, 95% of users don't even know what an aperture is.
Personally, I have an iPhone 12 mini and I'm waiting for my iPhone 17 to arrive, so it doesn't really affect me either way.
I tried making this fermented lemonade for the first time. I stir it twice a day. The brown color is due to the brown sugar I used.
Is this enough yeast activity after 5 days? The first bubbles only appeared on the 4th day, yesterday. I’m worried that it might spoil. I don’t know when to transfer it to bottles, where the fermentation will continue.
I didn’t use any commercial wine yeast, nor did I have any starter culture prepared beforehand.
2.5 liters of filtered water, 310 g of sugar, and about 11 elderflower heads (not particularly large ones), juice from 2 lemons.
I keep it in the dark, covered with a towel.
EDIT: Elderflower champagne is actually what this fermented lemonade is called. I didn't make it up. I've seen a lot of recipes and they called it exactly that.
The other name I saw is Elderflower wine. But in reality, it's neither wine nor champagne.
I have Samsung Q930D and Sony TV.
Sometimes the soundbar would show as ARC, but most of the time it was eARC. Currently, it seems to be about 50/50. The cable is the original one and I’m using the eARC HDMI port.
Another issue that happens is that the TV sometimes does not detect the soundbar at all, even after going into the sound settings and selecting test sound (you know what I mean) The only thing that helps is turning off both the TV and the soundbar and unplugging them from the power outlet. (It would be enough to unplug Only TV probably)
Please tell me this is a hoax…
Social media is full of this after the trailer was released. That´s not true, right? Nolan would never allow anything like that, right?
I repeatedly change Motionflow to “Off”, and every time I check the setting during the next PS5 gaming session, it’s set back to Custom. All the other settings stay unchanged.
I have “Custom” set to “Min” so that it’s as close as possible to “Off.”

I watched the trailer twice and I didn’t even notice that there was any soundtrack that would help build the atmosphere. At the same time, the voice is heard far too clearly and feels detached from the environment, which is uncharacteristic for Nolan.
From what I’ve heard from Nolan (new interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and generally about the film’s production, because of the new IMAX cameras and also the nearly 400 lb housing he talked about yesterday, the noise has been effectively reduced. Because of that, I think the film won’t be dubbed (I’m not sure of the exact term).
What do you think about it? Is it just the trailer, and will the film have the voices integrated with environmental sounds like in previous films?
On May 28, 2026, a native aoe2 DE MacOS version will be released on Steam, and later also on the App Store for macOS.
