The Odyssey film reel is 11 miles long and weighs more than a grizzly bear

Benny Safdie as Agamemnon and Matt Damon as Odysseys in The Odyssey.

Christopher Nolan's fantasy epic The Odyssey is a big film, but a photo shared by an IMAX projectionist truly shows just how big.

A projectionist at an IMAX theater posted an image of the film reel for The Odyssey looks like after its loaded into the console, explaining that it contains over 250,000 frames... which comes out to 11 miles long and 630 lbs in weight. For comparison, the average theatrical film reel is somewhere around 16,000 frames. The Odyssey, however, is far from the average film as it's nearly three hours in length (which is quite typical for a Christopher Nolan film, if you ask me). You can check out the image below.
