Moviegoers hoping to see Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" on one of the most immersive screens in Texas were turned away Thursday after a projector failure at AMC IMAX at Rivercenter Mall in San Antonio.

The theater is one of only two in Texas capable of showing a 70mm IMAX film - the format Nolan used to shoot The Odyssey, which is said to be the first film ever shot entirely on full IMAX film.

Many fans purchased tickets weeks in advance to experience the movie exactly as Nolan intended.
