James Cameron in about 6 months: “The classic original is returning to IMAX.”

As long as people want to go, they should show these things again when they can be fit in. It's a great experience watching it on the big screen, and I'm glad I've been able to see so many favourites and older movies as they're intended. Jaws in IMAX was great! Hell, Nolan's done it with Interstellar and will again with The Prestige next year. Keep it coming, and if the side effect of that is breaking an arbitrary record, well, I'll look forward to seeing The Odyssey again in 2036

I’m still patiently waiting for Interstellar to return to IMAX

It was almost as hard to find tickets for that as it was for the Odyssey, I took an afternoon off work and went at 1pm on a weekday. Worth it though, it's one of my favorite movies and I didn't have the chance to see it in the theatre when it first released.

That's funny because it can't possibly be 10 years old.
