r/TheOdysseyMovie

No, it’s not the Argos scene. Though my eyes did well up a little since I have a dog myself, it was the flashback to the sack of Troy that did it for me. What a poignant scene. I saw where the story was going at the halfway point, but this one scene hammered it home for me. It was the moment they lost everything that held humanity together, and it’s hard for me to not draw parallels to what we’ve lost in the past decade. Also, I loved how they presented the Trojan horse as a cowardly act. Even as I kid I did not find the tale to be heroic at all. It was odd that my textbooks always framed it that way. Seeing it presented in a negative light was refreshing. Also Also, the witch calling Odysseus and his men pigs was a wonderful bit of foreshadowing to the reveal of what happened at Troy. Ugh, I love this movie. It’ll be the first time I’m doing a rewatch in a theater for over a decade and I’ll be doing it in real 70mm IMAX this time:)

Honestly, everyone hyping, this movie, just to hype it and be a sheep to conform to some sort of opinion which has been pre established……. It’s a Nolan movie so we can’t say anything bad about it.

Honestly, it was a terrible movie , I think in a few weeks people will rethink their opinion of this 5/10 movie

Everything about this movie is lazy and below standard

-actors and actor role decisions
- the sets are really uninspiring
- the monsters are really uninspiring for a movie in 2026
- there is no character development for the crew or the relationship between odyssesyus and Penelope
- like the relationship between Odysseus and his crew is extremely important….but we never see any relationship development between them , Odysseus’s is just Odysseus and the crew is just the crew…..
-Odysseus’s isn’t even that bothered when the witch turned the crew into pigs , Odysseus didn’t even cry when his crew eat the cattle and he knew their basically dead now
- I really think it’s Matt Damon , he just can’t act well and should NEVER be a lead in a blockbuster like this
- the Trojan horse scene is extremely underwhelming

It’s just so bad I can’t believe a director like Nolan could make such a bland movie

And this seriously isn’t bait, It’s just a real opinion of a damn average movie

Saw the film for the second time last night. Love it - even better the second time around. But something stuck out for me again - when they encounter the Laestrygonians, the shot of the child soldier screaming looks really off. Weird floating head, strange shadows, dodgy compositing, clearly stitched together CGI.

It stuck out like such a sore thumb in an otherwise faultless movie - in terms of visual effects. Why didn't Nolan just film a child in a costume??

Wondering if this stuck out for anyone else?

Not sure if it’s the actors or the character development from the poor script ….

But I felt zero emotion for any characters hardships

Anne Hathaway is sad because she has to go with another man, because her own husband choose to leave her? Really Who tf cares……

There’s zero romance between them, it’s not done well at the start so you don’t even care she has to find a new suited

Matt Damon just dosent provoke any emotion as an act, I really think he’s one actor I can’t stand, he ruins every movie for me for some reason

Let’s compare the emotion and realism such as Daniel day lewis emits when he’s acting, whilst Matt Damon is just so Monotone, it’s so infuriating

Or let’s compare say Leonardo and Kate winslet in titanic, that relationship felt real and she was infacuated with Leo and it you actually felt bad when Leo was arrested/ stitched up etc

I think it’s mainly Matt Damon, he just ruins every movie for me
