After Christopher Nolan fans rushed to secure premium tickets last week for his highly anticipated epic "The Odyssey," Tom Holland and Letterboxd are encouraging fans to take their love of film formats to the next level.

They have wall-to-wall screens and superior projection technology, so you are more immersed. If you want to feel the movie, see 'The Odyssey' in RX or D-Box. Your seat doesn't just sit there.
