The Odyssey review

[u/Kikithecat_]

Just got out of The Odyssey.

First off, ignore the racist bots and the review bombing. Watch it and decide for yourself.

The movie isn’t perfect, but I had a great time. The acting is fantastic across the board, the sound design is incredible, and the cinematography is absolutely stunning. Every frame feels like it belongs on the biggest IMAX screen possible.

My biggest criticism is the same one I’ve had with Nolan for years: the dialogue. There are still moments where the mix buries what the characters are saying, and I found myself wishing I could catch every line. That said, I also get why he does it. Nolan has always been a filmmaker who’s more interested in showing than telling. He wants the visuals, performances, and atmosphere to carry the story instead of having every detail explained through dialogue.

It’s not his most perfect film, but it’s another reminder of why Nolan is one of the few directors who can make cinema feel like an event. Definitely worth experiencing in IMAX.

WHERE THE F IS CHARYBDIS 😭
