This is our spoiler-free review for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Join Justin, Nate, and Darcy as they share their first impressions before diving into what worked—and what didn't—in Nolan's ambitious adaptation of Homer's timeless epic. We discuss the film's breathtaking visuals, Hoyte van Hoytema's stunning cinematography, the commitment to practical filmmaking, and why this may be Christopher Nolan's best-looking film to date. We also break down the standout performances from Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, and so many more, along with Nolan's bold non-linear approach to the story and its themes of war, homecoming, identity, and myth.
