Christopher Nolan is back with The Odyssey, a massive cinematic event that brings one of the most legendary stories ever told to the big screen with scale, ambition, and spectacle.
But this is also a movie surrounded by conversation and controversy. Does Nolan’s take on the classic myth justify the hype, or does the baggage around the film distract from the experience?
Here’s my review of The Odyssey, talking about the performances, scale, visuals, storytelling, themes, controversy, and whether Christopher Nolan has delivered another modern classic.
Share your thoughts in the comments. Did The Odyssey live up to the event-film hype?
