The Odyssey

Had very high hopes for this, and once again Christopher Nolan does not disappoint. Right from the get go, the sense of scale and grandiosity of this epic is felt. The sheer spectacle of this in 70mm IMAX is nothing short of breathtaking. The performances really help to ground this, with John Leguizamo, Zendaya and Elliot Page being my standouts. Everyone is operating at such a high level, bringing such humanity to these characters. Ludwig Göransson does something incredible with the score here that really pays off in that third act and when it happens, it’s genuinely levitating stuff. Speaking of which, the entire third act just soars to new heights. Nolan gives it everything he’s got and you’re left in pure awe watching it unfold. Can’t wait to revisit this, especially after finishing the poem as it’s truly one of the best of the year, and a cinematic experience I shan’t forget.
