The Odyssey

STUNNING STUNNING MOVIE, the visuals are incredible, and the imax experience made it even better than I could have imagined. The cinema gave me the best experience in any cinema I have watched especially the ocean scenes, with seat vibrations incredibly loud sound and a gigantic screen. It truly felt like you were inside the movie and riding those waves. The plot and whole way it was constructed was out of this world, with the ways they went through the story using narration of his story, the present, the present in another land, and the repeated expanding on the previous parts of the story were gorgeous. The battle of Troy was one of my personal favourites and the cave of the cyclops was outstanding with even a great horror element. The huge soldiers scene was terrifying with how surrounded they were and the amount of deaths and bloodshed was something else. This movie was absolutely phenomenal in almost every aspect and there was even some really nice things I liked like the “people of the sea” being Odysseus and his men. The ending was INCREDIBLE and final fight was so nice. The character development was great and the acting was so so well done. I will say I wish they displayed some parts more like the whirlpool and the monster expanding on that , his sacrifice of the crew. The thunderstorm scene was also so well made with the white flashes having such good effect. This movie captures you into it so well and the various thunder and sound effects when significant things happen were a very nice addition.
