maybe my opinion doesn’t count cause i still haven’t read the odyssey (or the iliad lol…) but regardless of how good or bad of an adaptation this may be, i can definitely vouch for nolan’s odyssey being one of the best cinema experiences i’ve had in a long time, which makes it good enough for me. this movie is at its core a cinematic spectacle that uses the odyssey to set its narrative foundations and nothing else. whether or not i’ll be offended over odyssey being the chosen myth used for this, or over its lack of faithfulness to the source, is something i’ll know after reading it. but for now i choose to appreciate it for how it stands on its own: a movie that makes you stay perfectly still for 3 hours out of fear of missing even a second
