The Odyssey
When I found out this Nolan epic was being shown in 35mm at Dundee Contemporary Arts, I had to see it. So much hype, so much star power. Great cinematography. Accomplished acting. Good music. Time didn't drag, which is an achievement in a nearly 3 hour film, but it didn't excite me. Ultimately, disappointing.
The plot seemed a bit derivative (haha).
Maybe it was never going to live up to its hype. I have liked other Nolan films (Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, Oppenheimer) but none of them are in my top 100.
You're better off watching this low budget film which I saw earlier this month, which was made for a tiny fraction of the cost.
