The Odyssey

[Cwoolboy]

The extended preview for Nolan's The Odyssey that screened in IMAX theaters was thrilling af. LOVED getting to see the Trojan Horse. Epic, cool stuff. Wasn't particularly excited for this film, but I sure as hell am now! Give it to me, Daddy Nolan!

Easily the film I'm most excited for next year. Nolan's only made one movie I haven't really enjoyed (TENET, and even that one has some amazing stuff in it).

My most anticipated movie next year.

I clearly just don’t care about this story. It obviously looks well made, not familiar with the story admittedly, but nothing truly gripped me here. Again. It does not look bad I’m just sure this isn’t a story for me it seems?

For what it's worth, the Odyssey is a very well-known epic (As well as Epic: The Musical which is pretty darn nice!) and it provides plenty for a film.

At the same time, this trailer does nothing for me. This is by no means a knock on the film itself, it's purely a knock on the trailer which chooses to not do much. I can fully understand not wanting to reveal certain things, but you can still make an intriguing trailer...this just isn't.

Wait, you weren’t taught it? That’s bizarre. It’s usually either taught in English or History.

I read the story in full--was probably the only time I was invested in actual English literature being learned.

Easily the film I'm most excited for next year. Nolan's only made one movie I haven't really enjoyed (TENET, and even that one has some amazing stuff in it).

The IMAX preview feels like it does the film a better justice. The sense of scale in set pieces, alongside the fact that Nolan seems to be embracing the more "fantastical" aspect of The Odyssey that has been an understandable concern on if he'd actually lock in on.
