The Odyssey (Christopher Nolan)

For those with general hearing concerns, have you tried any of the theaters adaptive devices such as individual closed caption devices, etc?

If so, how was your experience with them?

Saw this again yesterday in the Dolby Cinema. The intense sound made for a different, more intense/immersive sound experience, but overall, I came away feeling the same. Has incredibly high highs, absolutely insane production, but has some lulls, feels it's length in the middle of the movie, and all that ultimately makes it a masterpiece of filmmaking, but not a masterpiece of a film, if that makes sense. Still sits outside my Nolan top 5. And after re-watching some Nolan movies this weekend, Batman Begins might have started to creep into it. Man, that movie, outside of Tom Wilkinson really hamming it up, is fantastic. Also, been rewatching Memento. The construction of that movie is wild, but it's a little tougher on rewatch.

Final Nolan rankings post second viewing:

1. The Dark Knight
2. Inception
3. Dunkirk
4. Batman Begins/The Prestige
5. Oppenheimer
6. Memento/Odyssey

My parents didn't like it but I did and so did my sister and brother in law.

We have our 70mm IMAX tickets purchased for Labor Day. Looking forward to the experience and glad they extended with more dates

Well, theaters refuse to add intermissions any longer. Movies of this length were never meant to go straight through.
