We’ve all been questioning what Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey will appear like. One in every of our nice epic movie administrators is adapting one of many nice literary epics with assist from an enormous finances, IMAX cameras, and a stacked solid? They’ll should kick us out of the theater, as a result of we’re already seated.

Properly, we lastly bought a correct trailer for The Odyssey and, to inform you the reality, it’s nonetheless laborious to inform what Christopher Nolan’s film appears to be like like.

To be very reasonable, it looks as if one thing could have gone improper when importing this trailer to YouTube. It’s extremely blurry and darkish even when considered on the best allowed YouTube decision (which, for some cause, is proscribed to 1080p, no less than without cost customers). That is seemingly not the perfect technique to view this preview, so all feedback about its appears to be like should be taken with that grain of salt.

That stated, Nolan will not be beating sure allegations anytime quickly. Manufacturing pictures of The Odyssey have been criticized in some circles for his or her lack of colour and customarily boring designs. The identical criticisms may actually be utilized to this trailer, even when we solely get the briefest glimpses of a number of the film’s probably grander sequences. There are beautiful photographs unfold all through, although they’re unfold considerably skinny amongst different, merely serviceable glimpses of pretty mundane moments. The night time scenes particularly are fairly tough, although it’s value noting once more that YouTube might be a co-conspirator for that specific crime. Nonetheless, the model debate will proceed.

That stated, there’s a lot to like right here. The storm sequence, particularly, appears to be like appropriately horrifying, as do the photographs of the troopers cowering in worry in a determined try to keep away from what seems to be an enormous sword. Ludwig Göransson’s rating is solely magical, and the sheer wattage of star energy fueling this factor stays spectacular. Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, Mia Goth…hell, Lupita Nyong’o is on this film, and we don’t even know her function but.

Maybe most significantly, that is nonetheless The Odyssey we’re speaking about. Cheap issues about what actually appears to be a darkish, dour, and dude-driven tackle that story apart, The Odyssey stays each an unbelievable assortment of probably cinematic moments and a narrative that has not often obtained a direct adaptation, a lot much less one on this scale. We’ll all discover out if The Odyssey lives as much as that potential when the film is launched on July 17, 2026.
