The Odyssey

Movie

Great film. I saw it twice within the first four days of it opening. Not my favorite Nolan film though because I'm partial to his mind bending original films. I haven't seen it in 70mm IMAX yet though so will go see it a third time to check that out but I go to the theaters all the time so that's not that crazy for me. I'm glad to see someone put a big budget to good use instead of the typical big budget super hero CGI slop. I grew up watching the old fantastical Ray Harryhausen adventures like Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans so I was pretty excited the past couple of years for this to come out to see a high quality modern Greek epic and was not disappointed in most aspects, though there was some casting choices I didn't like, like Anne Hathaway and Elliott Page. Robert Pattinson was really good. Definitely go see it.
