AI GeneratedInitial reactions to Christopher Nolan's adaptation of \"The Odyssey\" are overwhelmingly positive. Critics praise the film's massive scale, heart, and technical brilliance, specifically highlighting the powerhouse performances of the lead cast and the immersive experience of viewing it in IMAX 70mm.
The odyssey, we are seeing it in less than a week, Alan, but the first reactions are here.
We're not going to read this story. We're just going to look at, uh, what the reactions are.
Yeah. Uh, they're brief, but let's just go into what they are. It's not a real story. It's a
roundup of what the reaction to initial reactions of filmmaking feast colliders.
A grand and gripping rapid rendition of Homer's epic and one that feels uniquely Christopher
Nolan. It's sincerely hard to imagine any other filmmaker on the planet being able to bring that
source material to screen with this much scale, scope, and heart. Uh, moving on discussing film
managing editor, Andrew J Salazar called the movie a staggering achievement. David noted what
that doesn't mean it was good or bad. Yes, it doesn't. I'll probably think, I mean,
from the trailers, it looks like staggering. Uh, David noted the last act rewards the journey,
despite some clunk, despite some clunkiness along the way, uh, flawless filmmaking,
every inch as epic as you'd expect. Simon Thompson. I know Simon, uh, leading a stellar
cast. Matt Damon gives Odysseus everything in a career. Best powerhouse performance.
Robert Pattinson is outstanding as, and Tino is, and John leg was almost, you may as sublime, uh,
say, Oh my God, I know jazz. I, I I'm sad. I can't pronounce your last name.
Hailed the movie as an astonishing achievement. That's what everyone's saying. And a triumphant,
spectacular epic while the publications awards pundit, Clayton Davis noted,
Matt Damon leads with grit while Tom Holland brings the sensitivity and heart
is another hit for Nolan. One, his diehard fans will digest for decades to come.
Uh, why don't you read this one, Alan? Yeah. Fandango's Eric Davis,
who, uh, Eric Weber is a big fan of shared praise of Robert Pattinson writing. He's so
conniving manipulative and endlessly entertaining to watch patents and leans all the way into the
character's villainy. And it results in one of my favorite performances of his. Uh, he also called
the movie and absolute triumph and a crowning cinematic achievement from one of the great
filmmakers of our time. All right. More Matt Damon headlines, the odyssey in this leading role.
Uh, let's see. They're just going over stuff. They're just going over. What does empire
magazine say? Uh, no, no, no. Scroll down, up. Sorry. It's that right there. I shot over
two. Oh man. Okay. Shot over 2 million feet of film. All right. That's what empire has to say
about it. Yeah. But the look, are we surprised that, um, Oh, Rachel Leishman. Okay. Let's read
this. Here's a Steven Weintraub. Uh, Christopher Nolan's the odyssey is incredible. It has been
lucky enough to, I've been lucky enough to watch it twice and it gets better in the second viewing.
I'm really blown away by this film. If you can see an IMAX 70 millimeter, uh, it's a jaw dropping
experience. It'll be great wherever you see it. Oh, but wait, it's much more. Yeah. But
but IMAX 70 millimeter is the best option. Oh, okay. Yeah. That's the first time. Let's read
this last one here from Rachel Leishman over at the Mary Sue the odyssey. It's an Epic as its
source material with the level of Christopher Nolan's spark that makes something special.
It's a story of a love between love and loss and takes you on quite a journey. And the only way
Nolan knows how breathtaking, bold and perfection, the women are awesome. Yeah. And we already got,
yeah, we got Eric Davis. Um, I don't think there's a negative one in this bunch. Interesting.
And Evan Romano who's taking a selfie. Uh, yeah, the odyssey is really good. Well,
I think he's making fun of it. I think he's making fun of it. I suggested because when these come
out and they just glaze the movie, I suggested, why don't you just write an odyssey, you know,
review, you can just post one on social media and be over the top raising. And you don't even have
to see the movie. Yeah. Yeah.
