Nolan’s The Odyssey Sparks Split Early Reactions: Mixed, Bored, and Disastrous
Early out-of-theater reactions to Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey are split: Film Threat’s Gore calls it mixed with standout moments (Cyclops, Circe, Troy) but dragging in the first half and dialogue issues, while Ng says he was bored from the start and calls it a “disaster”; casting controversy is largely negligible on screen, the score underwhelms, and tech Oscars are anticipated as the film’s Friday IMAX release looms.
