The time has come: reviews are in for Christopher Nolan‘s highly anticipated epic The Odyssey.
Following the success of 2023’s Oppenheimer — which earned Nolan his first Academy Awards for best director and best picture — the filmmaker turned his attention to adapting Homer’s ancient Greek epic. The Odyssey also made history as the first feature film shot entirely with Imax 70mm film cameras.
As of midday Wednesday, the film holds a 98 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, currently the highest of Nolan’s career, and is tracking for a massive opening weekend.
Starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, the film follows the legendary Greek king’s long journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War as he attempts to reunite with his wife, Penelope (Anne Hathaway), and son, Telemachus (Tom Holland). The ensemble cast also includes Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Jon Bernthal, Elliot Page, Travis Scott, Charlize Theron and more.
