Movies The Odyssey (2026) - First Trailer

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.

I'm saying the accuracies were not an issue unless you were a history scholar. The Odyssey cast being woke and not resembling Greeks sticks out like a sore thumb to anyone. It stumbles at the basics.

Not resembling greeks...

You mean the uniforms?

I would not say Oppenheimer was a Berkley / Oberlin prog 2020s movie, why are you expecting that?

Is Zendaya depending how dark she will look that far fetched considering the region?

I'm pretty sure he meant those Chinese/Korean and mixed dudes not looking Hellenic.
 
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...

Real world versions would probably look clunky and cheap. They're clearly going for a dramatic space Odyssey type flare. Everything be somber themed and mysterious.
 
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

We will see how it goes

The costumes they did use look clunky and cheap. The only mystery is why in the fuck they made the call to make armor flat black and plastic looking.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the weapons look like so I can give a full critique of that as well.

I mean pasty Matt Damon and Holland, just to name a few, stick out like a sore thumb. Stop playing dumb.
 
This cast is not a cast of characters, its a cast of celebrities. Work out the difference.
 
Not feeling it. The source material has been done to death. I'm sure he'll do his best to make it interesting, but I am predicting a failure of cosmic proportion. Hope I'm wrong though.
 
Anything Nolan makes is always worth checking out at least, but the trailer is not a good first impression. I don't think he's a good fit for this, as he likes to ground things. The source material does not call for that.

Matt Damon can be good in supporting roles these days, but as a leading man in an epic film?? I don't know what it is exactly about him that I find so annoying, but there's no way I'm paying a cent to watch him for hours.

Zendaya is another terrible choice. She's a charisma vacuum. I do not get her appeal, outside name recognition.

I'd always rather a period piece be historically accurate, in casting, set pieces, and attire, but if the writing, acting, and cinematography is excellent, I can still enjoy it. Race swapping always sticks out like a sore thumb though, and there's plenty of that here.
 
Lmfao don't hurt yourself mate. What is it you dorks jerk off about? Media literacy? Guess you missed that lesson
What are you whining about? A movie?

Fuckin crybaby response,

Weird, delusional, and totally normal to you.

Hey Avatar makes crazy money and we all keep assuming that trash will fail.

You see the support for PTA's "one battle to another" ? Potentially the worst film in history and already people praised it.
The disconnect is wild.

Prediction...
It's so loud people cannot hear dialogue in key parts of the film.

And film critics will bend over about the historical accuracy of a fairytale.
They'll take it, as they're designed.
