‘If you see one movie this year’: Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey set to storm the box office

In a plot twist worthy of the ancient bards themselves, the hottest movie of the summer isn’t a superhero flick, or an alien-invasion yarn, or a crinolines-and-bonnets period drama. Instead, it is an adaptation of a nearly 3,000-year-old epic poem, which film-maker Christopher Nolan is releasing as a follow-up to Oppenheimer, his grim, Oscar-winning study of the origins of nuclear war. Nolan, previously director of Memento, the Dark Knight trilogy and Dunkirk, has now turned his attention to the Odyssey, the classical Greek saga that, along with its companion epic the Iliad, is one of the foundational works of western civilisation.

Nolan’s adaptation is a big-budget affair, the largest of his career at an estimated $250m, and the director has peopled it with a cast ranging from established Hollywood stars such as Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway, newer teen-friendly faces including couple of the moment Zendaya and Spider-Man’s Tom Holland, and idiosyncratic choices such as Lupita Nyong’o, Mia Goth, Samantha Morton and fellow director Benny Safdie.

Appropriately for its epic scale, The Odyssey has been entirely shot on the extra-large Imax format (for which Nolan reported he had used 2m ft of film), and, as per his customary practice, Nolan avoided green screen VFX in favour of building authentic props and locations, including the Trojan horse and Odysseus’s ship. In November, he explained his rationale: “By embracing the physicality of the real world in the making of the film, you do inform the telling of the story in interesting ways. Because you’re confronted on a daily basis by the world pushing back at you.”

Yeah, but that is the first one from Nolan that I don't feel like watching. I wonder how many more like me there are. Probably not many, but still.

Well, I know of at least one more.

I have watched all Nolan movies, but I definitely consider him overrated. Memento is still by far his best movie. (that blew my mind as a teen).

‘An absolute triumph’: first reactions to Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey are ecstatic

Following the film’s premiere, critics are already calling the historical epic a best picture Oscar contender. Here’s what they had to say

The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s three-hour version of Homer’s epic poem, world premiered in London on Monday night, and critics who saw the film there and at early screenings in the US have been sharing their takes on one of the year’s most hotly anticipated films.

“Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey is a colossal origin-myth story of postwar disillusion and a loss of innocence witnessed by the dead,” wrote the Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw, ahead of the reviews embargo lifting next Wednesday and next Friday’s worldwide release.

IndieWire editor-at-large Anne Thompson called the film the best picture contender to beat, and added that Matt Damon “could win best actor”. “My high expectations were met,” she added, calling the film “stunningly mounted”.

Multiple pundits described the film as “flawless” and “breathtaking”, with others singling out Robert Pattinson’s villainous Antinous for particular praise.

all overrated. even as a huge sci-fi nerd i hated interstellar. Memento, shit apart from the acting perhaps which is solid (good in interstellar too, but that is not enough).

Prestige, i remember liking it, probably the only one from him.
Tenet, i would never watch.

Oh, it will. I will also watch it, but I will go in with the expectation that this is another self-celebratory wankfest of Nolan jizzing over his own greatness, similar to Tenet.
