Odyssey in digital, streaming, Ultra HD 4K and Blu-ray: what it will offer in that format
Odyssey by Christopher Nolan, with Matt Damon in the role of Odysseus, will be released for sale digitally starting from November 18, on the major platforms but also physically in Ultra HD 4K, Blu-ray and DVD, on behalf of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. A total of 90 minutes of extra content are planned, not available everywhere in streaming/download format (it will be advisable to verify this aspect at release if you are interested in behind-the-scenes material). In all editions the film is presented with the aspect ratio 1.78:1. In Ultra HD 4K and Blu-ray, the audio options include English in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and Italian in DTS Digital Surround 5.1, with subtitles in English for the deaf and hard of hearing and Italian. The DVD edition features Dolby Digital 5.1 audio and the same subtitles, though it runs 2h 45m instead of 2h 53m, due to the frame rate being accelerated (25fps instead of 24fps).
The special features consist of a collection of twelve behind-the-scenes explorations supervised by Nolan himself: the genesis of the project, the aesthetic treatment of the characters, the IMAX shoot, the journeys to real locations, the creation of the Trojan Horse, the construction of the Troy downfall sequence, the crafting of Ithaca, the training for combat scenes, the production of practical and visual effects, the relationship with the sea during filming, the composition of the soundtrack, the intricate post-production between editing and scoring, the process of bringing the film to life, an exclusive IMAX prologue, the music video for “When I’m Home” and the trailer.
