And someone please give pattinson more villainous roles, he absolutely ACES IT, the range now he has is commendable Odyssey is a sure shot blockbuster thats relentless and has countless epic set pieces one of which is HORROR and it has IMMENSE REPEAT VALUE It is Nolan’s Mangum opus It will be a superhit in hindi too cause it has the commercial power I am watching it again tonight."'It's a generational cinematic event'Other fans also couldn't stop gushing about the film. One fan strongly recommended that Nolan's film, which is shot entirely on IMAX cameras, should be watched on an IMAX 70MM screen. "He fully commits to the myth and it's unlike anything he has made before. This movie is strange, stunningly beautiful, and the cast is doing the best work of their careers. Do whatever you can to see it in IMAX 70MM," the fan wrote.Another comment read, "The experience simply can’t be put into words. This isn’t just a FILM.. It’s a GENERATIONAL CINEMATIC EVENT that every movie lover deserves to witness at least once. Whatever you do, DO NOT MISS THIS. Watch it in IMAX. IMAX. IMAX. No other format comes close.. NOLAN🙏🏻" 'Nolan has managed to overdeliver again'Another moviegoer shared that Nolan has placed greater emphasis on the overall cinematic experience rather than just the story. The comment read, "Just watched The Odyssey world premiere in Mumbai... Absolutely blown away. Nolan has somehow managed to overdeliver yet again. It's one of those films where the experience is just as important as the story. Please, do yourself a favor and watch it only in IMAX. The cinematography and sound design are on another level, and I genuinely don't think a regular screen can do this film justice. Also, massive props to the team behind the Mumbai premiere. It was incredibly well organized and honestly made me wish India hosted more world premieres for Hollywood films. What an experience. Don't miss this one."
