The Odyssey

This is THE best Christopher Nolan movie ever and one of the greatest movies of all time. From the cinematography to the story to the acting to the characters, everything was executed perfectly. Ludwig Göransson pulled off an absolute masterclass with the music which perfectly fitted the atmosphere and intensity of the movie. Going in, I was expecting it to be very well made as it was a Christopher Nolan movie of course, what I did NOT expect was this movie to be one of the BEST cinematic experience I have ever had. The first act of the movie was great with incredible pacing and beautiful camera angles on every frame. The movie looked realistic and thats because it had such little use of CGI as compared to modern film. It felt surreal to see Nolan’s efforts at making this movie so dynamic and realistic. The second act was… Gosh it was something else, in this act we can REALLY tell that the movie is gonna get better and better. Everything was phenomenal in the movie and it remained flawless for the whole second act. It gave an introduction to the horror element of the movie with the cyclops who goes by the name of Polyphemus. It was very nerve-wrecking to hear the roar and i was scared like I was really there with the men of Ithaca in that cave. The whole theatre vibrated because of the loud, realistic and dynamic sound work. This act was very grounded and mysterious, much more then act 1. It was more emotional and filled with action. Of course, the cinematography became better and better and there was not a single bad camera angle. The last act, wow, that was phenomenal. It was so well executed with extremely well crafted chemistry between every character present in the film and there was not a single flaw. It was perfect. EVERY character had a purpose and every single strand of story was connected. The last 15 minutes were genuinely EPIC and made my whole theatre cheer and clap, and they were absolutely not wrong to do so because that was a pure work of art by Christopher Nolan. This was a cinematic flawless masterpiece with not a single bad scene. It was all written perfectly and it could not have gotten better then this. Phenomenal work and hats off to you, Christopher Nolan.
