The Odyssey

After watching this in IMAX, I’m not surprised why people are talking about this movie. I’m not someone deeply versed in Greek mythology, but I can say that this film is an absolutely insane masterpiece. The way the storylines gradually converged kept me fully engaged, allowing me to watch this nearly three-hour film without ever feeling drowsy. Not to mention the visuals and cinematography—it felt like a real feast for the eyes. Although for the first dozen minutes or so I kept wondering, "Where is Odysseus?", my...

The second viewing only confirmed my initial reaction, it's a good enough film but it not a mastepiece. On a technical filmmaking level The Odyssey puts foot to ass and delivers some hard hitting moments like the cyclops encounter and the battle with the giant Laestrygonians. It's also immersive watching Odysseus and his crew on thier...
