Movies The Odyssey (2026) - First Trailer

[ssBaldy]

Is Braveheart inaccurate? Gladiator?

Yes, very much. William Wallace wore the same armor as his foes, and Gladiator is just a clusterfuck of blunders from the historical perspective.

Not as inaccurate as mixing greeks with koreans, though.

Is Braveheart inaccurate? Gladiator?

Don't get me wrong, a movie can be inaccurate and good at the same time.

This just looks way too generic.
No matter the period, costumes just don't look high quality. Bland colours are the same as in any gritty action movie. Plus woke cast and miscast Damon. I like Hathaway in her role so far, she looks the part at least, others are really meh.
Overall-not a good look.

Also, I am fully expecting someone to do a remix of the movie with Matt Damon saying "Matt Damon" in retard voice instead all the words.

That's a fair opinion, thanks.

I hope the chinese guy got some sick kung fu moves and the black guy got a gat and start blasting some fools

 

[syct23]

at least cyclops looks accurate

That’s just the Theatrical Trailer,

Probably has two eyes in the movie…

Played by some famous actor, “It’s in his contract that he had two eyes “..

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

Matt Damon lol? Pass..

 

[Snubnoze707]

The armour looks absolutely atrocious.

Mycenaean armour was fucking awesome, they had so much to choose from. Could at least make it look somewhat plausible. We should be seeing BRONZE in the Bronze Age...

Is Braveheart inaccurate? Gladiator?

Braveheart is wildly inaccurate. The kilts, the woad, the battle at Stirling Bridge. It's a top 10 movie for me (I must have seen it 5 times in the theater), but it's also the epitome of "inspired by a true story".

 

[PBAC]

It looks kind of wrong. Idkw but the helmets look off, almost 3d printed. Cgi seems intrusive and they are going for a Dune theme

The amount of effort they'd have to put in to design those costumes wouldn't be worth it trying to impress the average Joe who knows nothing about this anyway, average Joe knows the 300 movie and Rome

Its really about what parts are inaccurate and how much you can get away with. Just because its inaccurate does it mean Denzel Washington could have played William Wallace?

 

[CasualBot]

Accurate?

Doesn't it have a cyclops and six headed lochness monster?

What is this conversation

Conversation clearly over your head.

Easy now Roids,
It's a Chris Nolan movie with a cyclops and a lochness monster...

and somehow this is over my head.

These are the rare opportunities to inform the average Joe and give him a better representation of Antiquity. Instead it's the same tired tropes - leather armour, wrist bands, bland colors, clownish helmets.

They could had at least went with later Ancient Greek style armour that could had been stamped out easy. Heck, even if they just painted the crappy armour they used bronze it would be more plausible and look better...

If someone made a monster movie set in 2025 Los Angeles and the people were dressed like they're from Saudi Arabia, you wouldn't question the art direction?

I'd certainly giggle.

First thing i giggled about in 300
was the absence of actual Persians.

There is so much trash from Scorsese & Tarantino lately.
Had to turn off the new PTA movie.
Nolan's best is likely behind him.
TV simply surpassed film directors.
Alien:earth looks better than any alien movie
(Vfx wise)

But to digress.

It's obviously funny to see Nolan stir up convo about costumes but still ... cyclops.
Fantasy. The odd only emphasizes the odd.

Very cool.

I get your point.

Nolan botched it.

Are you saying it could have been even more inaccurate? Of course it could have. They could have given Wallace a katana, or a Colt Peacemaker, or adamantium claws. Sure, it could have been worse, but the initial question was is the movie inaccurate, and the movie was full of inaccuracies.

 

[Doughie99]

And here we go.

What are your expectations for this? I didn't like Tenet but loved Oppenheimer so i think Nolan's return has already happened, good faith in this film.

My expectation is that it will be a very long film indeed.

Nolan said they shot over 2million feet of film which is an, extraordinariky high amount of celluloid.

Generally l I'm a big fan of Nolan going back to Memento etc
