Critics Consensus

Reinvigorating an ancient adventure with majestic sweep and sterling work by its colossal ensemble, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey imbues myth with primal human feeling.

Audience Says

A cinematic epic fit for the biggest screens, The Odyssey proves with technical precision and unrestrained grandeur that there’s no filmmaker quite like Christopher Nolan to steer Odysseus’ voyage home.

What you really need to do is keep your eyes wide open while enjoying a titanic film that may not be perfect but will keep you glued to your seat and eager to talk about it on the way out. [Full review in Spanish]

Like the filmmaker’s last work, ‘Oppenheimer,’ ‘The Odyssey’ has a downbeat, apocalyptic bent—but, unlike ‘Oppenheimer,’ or any previous Nolan film, the new film is also centrally about what human beings owe one another.

4/5

Grandiose and introspective, the film is not concerned with blood-shedding battles, instead using emotional struggle to reinvent itself.

The Odyssey succeeds as a technically accomplished epic that showcases Christopher Nolan's unmatched ambition on an enormous cinematic canvas.

8/10

The revelation here, though, is Tom Holland. As Telemachus, the son who has spent his entire life in the shadow of a father he's never known, Holland delivers his best performance outside of the Spider-Man franchise

We were in the second row back in the main section and not only did you have to tilt your head to see the 70MM film, you also had trouble with color. Much of the movie appeared grey due to the angle of view. For 25 per ticket, it was very disappointing. I am willing to try again with a row further up. The movie itself was fantastic. I would recommend 5 star for the film itself. But the IMAX 70mm...VERY VERY disappointing.

It was an amazing cinematic experience! The seats were comfortable even though they are not the newer luxury recliners. It would have been difficult to see the entire, massive screen height without sitting somewhat upright. Great experience overall.

Absolutely loved it. This was a different on screen version than what we're used to seeing. Brings back memories from the Greek History learned in High School.
