The Odyssey

I had high expectations, and this mostly exceeded them! I love Greek Mythology in any medium. I’m currently reading it for a summer college course and I’ve been extremely excited for this to come out. The look of this movie is phenomenal. So many different things to talk about. The settings all look so detailed. Ithaca, the scenes at sea on the boats, the forests, the cyclops’ cave, Troy, etc. It all has so much love and care in it to make this movie feel so grand. The epic scale of everything is apparent everywhere. The scene with the cyclops is one of my favorites. Incredible sound design, the character design of Cyclops is so cool and odd(positive)to look at. The ships feel grand, the setpieces all do too. Some of my favorite scenes are in Troy, the Cyclops cave, the scene with Circe, and the ending. There are so many to choose from. The cast is absolutely stacked. So many great performances throughout and it’s just crazy how many famous people they could get for this. I can’t say anything bad about this. It exceeded my expectations and brought one of the most famous adventures in literature to the big screen.
