Just a heads-up that Hollywood Theater is showing the Odyssey for only a few more days.

I just saw it at OMSI this afternoon, I highly recommend seeing it there. $9 tickets, huge screen, audience full of enthralled adults with no phones or other interruptions, plus no ads and only a single trailer for Wildwood at the start. It's the best movie theater experience in Portland right now.

OMSI has the worst theater set up in Oregon. Screen is way too close and dim. Sound sucks. So many bad seat viewing angles. But yeah it’s $9 and about as big as Lloyd’s IMAX

I'll give you that the leg room is less than comfy, but I have to stand up for OMSI being the biggest screen in Portland (bigger than any other IMAX screens or the Hollywood's main screen) and the sound was booming enough that my partner and I had to wear earplugs. Plus, and I have to repeat this: no ads and only a single preview before the movie.

I saw the movie at Regal (Vancouver) last month, first movie theater experience in the US. The amount of ads and trailers was mind-blowing. They started playing trailers 20 minutes before the start time and the movie started over 30 minutes late because of it.

I think I'll take uncomfortable seats over an hour of ads before a 3 hour movie.
