Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey Is Coming To Shreveport’s Only IMAX Dome

I always try to time to point out all the wonderful things we have in Shreveport-Bossier. Because, let's be honest, if you hop on social media most of what you see is the negative stuff. But we have some really cool stuff in town that should be talked about more: The Norton Art Gallery, The Water Works Museum, the Spring Street Museum, the American Rose Center...I mean the list is endless.

But when talking about cool stuff in our city, one place that doesn't get brought up enough is Sci-Port Discovery Center in Downtown Shreveport.

Sci-Port in Shreveport Is More Than Just a Kid's Museum

I know when I think of Sci-Port, I think kids. And that's because it's a science and entertainment center center with a Children's museum and all that. Adult activities aren't exactly the first thing that pop to mind.

BUT, with that said, Sci-Port does occasionally have some fun stuff going on for us grown folks. They host fairs, parties, show movies and a ton of other stuff. In fact, Sci-Port is home to Louisiana's only IMAX Dome Theater. So yeah, it's geared towards youth, but there's also some fun stuff for adults mixed in too.

If there's a new movie coming out, you might want to see if it's on the schedule at Sci-Port.

Experience 'The Odyssey' in IMAX at Sci-Port

Sci-Port is home to the Goodman IMAX Dome - which a state of the art, immersive theater experience. 4K laser projections, top of the line audio...it's truly an unparalleled experience.

And yes, they show educational films about Antarctica and Penguins and all the stuff you'd expect from a STEM facility. But they also show some new releases. Which brings us to the point of this post.

Sci-Port will be showing Christopher Nolan's newest epic film 'The Odyssey' in their IMAX Dome! The film - which stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, among others - is an epic modern adaptation of the Greek classic. It currently has a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and, outside of the new Spider-Man movie, may be the biggest movie of the summer.

There's nothing wrong with seeing a movie at a typical theater. But 'The Odyssey' is made to be viewed in IMAX. Nolan shot it on IMAX cameras and the whole nine. So, if you've never been to the Goodman IMAX Dome, this may be the perfect opportunity for you to check it out.
