Melinda Sue Gordon - Universal PIctures Christopher Nolan's epic The Odyssey, arriving on July 17, is the first feature film shot entirely using IMAX's incredible 70mm format. Now that tickets are on sale, you may be wondering where to see it. Here's my guide on finding a theater and tickets to get the full, jaw-dropping IMAX experience.

The best way to take in The Odyssey's spectacle, by far, is at the hard to find true 70mm IMAX film theaters. Screens are a colossal 59 by 79 feet and relatively square (1.43 to 1) to fill your field of vision. The 15-perf 70mm (15/70 IMAX) film runs horizontally through the projector, allowing for massive a 70mm x 48.5mm frame size. That's almost nine times the area of regular 35mm movie film, equivalent to around 16K to 18K digitally, providing a hyper-real and immersive experience.
