Where to see 'La Odisea' in IMAX in CDMX; these are the theaters showing the film

Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated film, "La Odisea," is set to premiere in Mexico on July 16, with cinephiles seeking the best viewing experience. The director, known for "Oppenheimer," conceived this ambitious project specifically for IMAX theaters, as it was entirely shot using IMAX cameras.

The film, inspired by Homer's epic poem, follows Odysseus's journey home after the Trojan War, featuring mythological creatures and divine challenges. The star-studded cast includes Matt Damon as Odysseus, alongside Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, and John Leguizamo, making it a major cinematic event for 2026.

For audiences in Mexico City eager to experience "La Odisea" as Nolan intended, several IMAX locations are available. These include Fórum Buenavista, Universidad, Perisur, Antara Platino, Santa Fe, Parque Delta, Parque Tezontle, and Encuentro Oceanía. The Cinemex Antara Platino is highlighted for its IMAX with Laser technology and advanced sound system, positioning it as a prime viewing spot.

Nolan's commitment to IMAX began with "The Dark Knight," but "La Odisea" marks a new peak, being the first fiction film shot entirely in the format. He told the Los Angeles Times that IMAX excels not only in action sequences but also in capturing human emotion, noting its power in depicting Cillian Murphy's face in "Oppenheimer." This project fulfills a lifelong dream for Nolan, who has wanted to make an IMAX feature since he was 16, envisioning its potential for dramatic storytelling.
