watched The Odyssey yesterday in IMAX (first time)

and it completely changed my perspective on square-ish aspect ratios
I’ve been used to editing in 16:9 which is similar to the 35mm example in pic 2
Nolan shot this in 1.43:1, a nearly square frame
as a result, the movie felt so much more immersive, not just because the screen is large but because there’s a lot more vertical space
that vertical space sits right in your periphery, meaning you absorb much more visual information at a glance than 16:9 (let alone anamorphic ratios)
large vertical structures like the buildings in pic 1 and even Agamemnon’s posture feel truly ENORMOUS
time for me to start experimenting more with this type of aspect ratio
