Watching the Odyssey on the smallest TV you could find on the set Backrooms is really the only way to truly see the film exactly how Nolan originally intended. Unfortunately many of us will have to settle for the profoundly worse experience of going to our local theater or streaming it in our living room.

    And isn't a tiny screen how Nolan watched the dailies while filming? He certainly didn't have a 50' screen in his trailer on the beach in Greece.

    You are watching it exactly how Nolan watched it.

    You do realize he watched the dailies after seeing the filming live, right?

    Real film heads know the only true way to experience Nolan's vision for The Odyssey is to watch him film it live.

    Nope.

    Time travel to the future, get an Acme Mynd-Reeder Helmet, and then go back and listen to Homer recite it while peeping into his mind and experiencing it as he's imagining it.

    And don't cheap out and get the Mynd-Reeder Model 17. Go all out and get the 23.

    Here's a behind the scenes shot.

    Notice he's not looking at the actors but at a tiny tablet that is tied to an inline digital camera attached to the imax film camera so he can see the framing from the point of view of the camera.

    You do realize that you've shown one picture out of a process that took over three months?

    It's like getting a picture of a driver looking in their rearview mirror and claiming it proves they never looked at the road.

    You do realize this is a joke? Op posted a tiny screen and I compared it to the tiny monitor that Nolan used during filming to see that it looked the way he intended.

    It's 2026 and that joke isn't the dumbest thing I've seen posted.

    Did you mean to say "is the dumbest" ?

    Let me put it this way.

    On another site I posted that one of the reasons given for the Afghanistan invasion was to deny the terrorists a place to train. Bush, Cheney, Powell, and every other planner said it.

    Someone replied that no, we didn't use the terrorist training bases as a reason to go into Afghanistan.

    Your joke is by no means the dumbest thing I've read in the past 72 hours.
