The Odyssey

Every time they would reveal the begger to be Odysseus I would get actual chills. The final act was a lot weaker than I expected. Just action to bring Odysseus back with a punch, but it really could’ve used more emotional depth. Telemachus screaming dad!! in this scene took me out of an already weirdly choreographed and long winded fight scene. Polyphemus is a 60FT PUPPET! Puppetry is back and it is full scale and so cool. Scoring was beautiful. You really get an impressive experience of everything at a IMAX 70mm showing, highly recommend. I loved all the Trojan/Troy scenes. The shot of Zendaya’s Athena getting beheaded with the statue was awesome. Sinon was such a compelling moral anchor and I adore Elliot Paige’s performance. I can’t believe people are mad over that casting.
