Christopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cThe Odyssey<\/a>\u201d is living up to its name for moviegoers hoping to score tickets. <\/p>\n On Thursday, trying to reserve seats for Imax and other premium screenings via the AMC ticketing app and its website became an epic journey of its own. Overwhelming demand for tickets caused the AMC app to pause; according to users on social media, wait times had reached an hour earlier in the day. Around noon, wait times were around 20 minutes. <\/p>\n Nolan\u2019s \u201cOdyssey\u201d is the first feature film shot entirely with Imax film, which filmmakers thought (until now) couldn\u2019t be done. The director helmed some of the biggest blockbusters to date \u2014 \u201cThe Dark Knight,\u201d \u201cInception,\u201d \u201cInterstellar,\u201d \u201cDunkirk\u201d and \u201cOppenheimer\u201d to name a few \u2014 and he hasn\u2019t let up in insisting these films should be seen in Imax.<\/p>\n Last month, Nolan told \u201c60 Minutes<\/a>\u201d that in this age of digitization and AI, shooting his films with a 70mm Imax camera is \u201ca human process, an analog process.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cThis strip of film, that\u2019s the highest quality imaging format that\u2019s ever been devised,\u201d he told former CBS correspondent Scott Pelley.<\/a> \u201cThere\u2019s nothing that competes with it. It\u2019s a massive negative, which, when correctly exposed, correctly printed and projected onto your screen, there\u2019s an image quality there that you can\u2019t get anywhere else. Incredible sharpness, very little visible grain.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d which stars A-listers Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya<\/a>, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and even music star Travis Scott<\/a>, hits theaters on July 17. <\/p>\n A representative for AMC did not respond to The Times\u2019 request for comment. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.latimes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Christopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d is living up to its name for moviegoers hoping to score tickets.
