On Monday, I saw The Odyssey at an IMAX 70mm screening at the BFI, and I'm afraid I found the heaviness of the bass detracted from my viewing experience. It felt very excessive.

It made sense in certain scenes, like when Polyphemus screams in the cave, but not for the most part. For example, when the waves crashed against the boat during a storm, it didn't sound to me like crashing waves, but like immense subwoofer booming.

This happened so frequently throughout the film that I found it masked the soundtrack and occasionally the dialogue.

Actually, the only part I remember finding particularly pleasing audio-wise was when the track Odysseus played towards the end; the scene had quieter dynamics, and a lack of sound effects to cover the soundtrack. (I think it was when Odysseus returned to Ithaca, before he fought the suitors).

I had the same issue with the preview for Dune: Part Three that was shown directly before the movie, so it presumably concerns the IMAX's sound system rather than Nolan's mixing.

I also didn't find the image to be much sharper than that of a standard cinema screen – I'd never been to an IMAX screening before, and expected to notice a huge difference in the resolution.

I think I'd have much preferred to have seen it at a standard cinema.

Did anyone else who viewed The Odyssey at the IMAX have a similar experience?

He looks like the most regular guy ever meanwhile he just made a billion dollar blockbuster.

Unfortunately, the strips were a little too wide for the slots, so I had to use a little bit of painters tape to hold it to it. No residue. I got light box on Amazon it’s the Bonnyco.

This is a clip of the Fizeau atomic bomb test in the Nevada Desert in 1957. It is one of the nuclear bomb tests in Operation Plumbbob ,It has yield of 11 kilotons of tnt

and this footage was record from 7 miles from ground zero

But the audio was edited and take from the low quality footage of other atomic test the Upshot-Knothole

Right before departing for home, there is this scene where Odysseus and co bury dead greek soldiers at the trojan beach. He says "Remember who we leave here. Let's go home". The main grave in frame features a tiny armor. Whose is that? What does it represent?

My thought when watching the movie was it must be Sinon's armor from when he was a child, at the start of the war, since his death was significant to Odysseus and maybe important to show the audience. In the Hades sequence Sinon even says something along the lines of "you gave me a proper burial in Troy and for that I am grateful".

On a second watch I looked more closely at the armor and it looks to be even smaller than child size, almost like a toddler's or baby size, not like it would fit the Sinon we see being selected for the army.

Does anyone have any thoughts? I'd be keen to know what others think.

He rode it twice, front and back.

At 14 I feel really really smart now lol

HINT: use this disc. (Not fully spoiling - it ruins the magic)
