The Odyssey

I was expecting a tiny tiny bit more.

That said the cinematography was classic Nolan, which is great.

Acting was good, I don’t believe it reaches peak performance from the actors and that Travis Scott cameo is a bit distracting to be completely honest, but I was happy with daemon and holland.

Dialogue is… a work in progress, unfortunately Nolan is known to not be the best at dialogue. Usually we can forgive that with the masterfulness of craft of the rest of the film, but I might be a little tired of it, I’d like to have dialogue to the standard of the other aspects of the film.

The designs, I think were great, I don’t need accuracy to 100%, if Nolan wanted them to look cool, he can do that, and the armors indeed looked sick.

Now to the castings since this is the most controversial aspect of the film, from not having any Greek actors to casting Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong’o…. Stop bitching, seriously, it’s not that deep, everyone has American accents and you can close an eye for that but not for this?? Get over yourself.

As I said, the only distracting person for me was Travis Scott, not because he didn’t fit, because it’s fucking Travis Scott and it’s distracting to me, and hopefully me only.

Favorite part was definitely the cyclops sequence, really fun, really cool.

I really enjoyed the soundtrack and sound design, it’s a safe bet with Nolan.

Is this his best project? Possibly, better than Oppenheimer, yes, better than interstellar? I haven’t decided that yet, it’s a tough one, ask me in a week. But it’s always up to taste.

I snagged a seat at 70mm IMAX, great, but foul play on selling tickets a year before to crazed Nolan fans that are the equivalent of Drake/Kendrick fans.

Overall I had a really good experience, I’m not the biggest Nolan fan and it left me longing for a bit more but that’s fine.

the movie isn’t even out yet but it already suckedass the second they dropped that cast list. the whole lineup they put together was an absolute mockery. there was not one single mediterranean or greek person in sight for the main roles. and hiring travis scott?? the actual fuck were they thinking with that one?

Went in without expectations and enjoyed it a lot. I think this movie is needed in these times


Added: I think this movie would be even better with lesser known actors

Great movie but some parts are hard to hear.

Literal masterpiece

The best movie of 2026
