The Odyssey
The film
Odysseus, the legendary King of Ithaca, embarks on a long and perilous journey home following the Trojan War. Throughout his voyage, he is forced to confront the whims of gods, mythological monsters, and trials that stretch both his cunning and his humanity to the breaking point.
It’s a visually stunning epic that most people enjoy, but the reactions are sharply divided on the core experience. Christopher Nolan delivers spectacular, brainy visuals, yet a vocal group finds Matt Damon's Odysseus a bit flat and the nearly three-hour journey a slog to get through. The supporting cast, including Anne Hathaway's Penelope and John Leguizamo's Eumaeus, lands well, and there's surprising praise for the film's dry humor. Ultimately, it's a film people admire for its craft more than they connect with its hero or pacing.
