Nolan Sets Sail Again
Christopher Nolan has returned, this time steering a cinematic take on the ancient tale usually credited to Homer. His new film zeroes in on Odysseus, the wily warrior who, after the Trojan War, boards a perilous trip home hoping to reunite with his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus on the island of Ithaca.
IMAX 70mm: A Very Selective Experience
The movie rolled out in France mid-July and hit North American screens a couple days later, but only a tiny handful of theaters are showing it in IMAX 70mm — roughly forty venues worldwide and just one in France. That ultra-rare presentation has become a badge of honor for cinephiles; some superfans will go to extreme lengths just to catch this print.
Tom Cruise’s Ticket-Flex Moment
Among the folks who tracked down the IMAX 70mm screening: Tom Cruise. He shared a snap of his ticket and couldn’t stop praising the film. Cruise has a habit of spotlighting movies he’s into by posting ticket photos and urging people to see them — he’s done this before for other big theatrical events.
Why Folks Are Talking
Early reactions have been loud: people are calling Nolan’s latest a major win. Reviews and audience chatter suggest it may be the director’s most highly rated picture yet, with viewers applauding its scale, ambition, and the emotional pull of Odysseus’s journey.
Want to Catch It?
If you’re curious, the simplest plan is to hit a theater and form your own verdict. And if you were wondering what Cruise is up to next, he’s prepping a new movie called Digger, due in late September — and the trailer teases a very different look for him.
