Why Nolan’s vision for 'The Odyssey' doesn't fit on India’s screens

‘The Odyssey’s’ release today marks a landmark technical achievement in the world of film—it is the first full length feature movie shot entirely on an IMAX camera. Nolan has advocated that his films be watched on an IMAX screen that projects the analog 15 perforation/70mm film reel developed from the original colour negative (OCN). While IMAX cameras capture better image resolution and details than others, they are both expensive and inconvenient to regularly handle due to their size and deafening internal motors. To bypass this, Nolan and the IMAX team created a new camera titled the ‘Keighley Camera’. This camera is housed inside a novel carbon-fibre casing termed ‘The Blimp,’ reducing the sound of the motors by 30-50%. India, however, will only screen digital versions of the film. A look into the post-production process and the architectural plus economical constraints Indian multi-plex operators might hold the answer.
