Watching the Odyssey on the smallest TV you could find on the set Backrooms is really the only way to truly see the film exactly how Nolan originally intended. Unfortunately many of us will have to settle for the profoundly worse experience of going to our local theater or streaming it in our living room.
Notice he’s not looking at the actors but at a tiny tablet that is tied to an inline digital camera attached to the imax film camera so he can see the framing from the point of view of the camera.
You do realize this is a joke? Op posted a tiny screen and I compared it to the tiny monitor that Nolan used during filming to see that it looked the way he intended.
Yeah but the camera lens captures a different view than your eyes. So directors watch “dailies” . It’s the print of filming done earlier in the day that the director reviews.

And isn’t a tiny screen how Nolan watched the dailies while filming? He certainly didn’t have a 50’ screen in his trailer on the beach in Greece.

It’s 2026 and that joke isn’t the dumbest thing I’ve seen posted.
Did you mean to say “is the dumbest” ?
Since it was shot in film he probably watched it on a projector in a theater.
A daily is a print done the same day as shooting for review. Here’s a film editing station that would be used to review dailies.
Wasn’t he there? Like, live?
