        dobly cinema this time. 3rd time's the charm best cinema experience for the odyssey that i have seen, i don't have a 70mm imax near me.
        questioning on wether it's my favorite nolan film, but that will have to wait on how the home media version is.
        the main complaint for me is the voice of sinon.

        imax laser with xt. it was on par with the dolby cinema edition, but from prior experience i am thinking the cinema i chose to watch the dolby version had some issues.
        the sound was more balanced in this version, and the screen didn't look as dark as the dolby.
        though the issue with this viewing was there was a rail in front of every seat, and you needed to sit upright for it to not block the screen.
        comfy seats though.

        as for the movie, my thoughts are the same as before.
        great film, and with every viewing sinon's voice is more annoying.

        70mm 5 perf this time.
        this was similar to the dolby cinema visually.
        i would say third best behind imax xt with dolby cinema being the best, for what i've seen.
        i might try and get an imax gt, and slim chance of a 70mm 15 perf viewing.
        i did notice the aspect ratio on this viewing but i saw the imax xt right before this one.
        great film, great cinema experience.
