According to a report, Christopher Nolan refused to hold screenings of The Odyssey for influencers. Film critics and journalists also attended this. Producer/journalist Simon Thompson wrote, “Christopher Nolan’s #TheOdyssey is flawless filmmaking, every inch as epic as you’d expect. Leading a stellar cast, Matt Damon gives Odysseus everything in a career-best powerhouse performance. Robert Pattinson is outstanding as Antinous and John Leguizamo’s Eumaeus is sublime.”
Fandango & Rotten Tomatoes’ Erik David wrote, “Christopher Nolan’s #TheOdyssey is an absolute triumph and a crowning cinematic achievement from one of the great filmmakers of our time. It feels like everything Nolan has been working toward with IMAX has culminated here. The production design is incredible, the action is breathtaking, and the scale is unlike anything he’s done before.” Read the full review.
Senior film critic Ben Rolph states, “#TheOdyssey is an epic tale of unmeasurable scope, grounded by Odysseus’ quest for meaning on his arduous journey. Got chills multiple times, the sound literally shook the cinema. The music rocks, it’s exhilarating and looks STUNNING & Robert Pattinson KILLS IT. The ending tho.”
“Breaking my Twitter hiatus to say that, yes, #TheOdyssey has the goods. Christopher Nolan’s Ten Commandments, boasting a scope and scale that never intrudes on its intimacy. A grounded (but faithful) take on the epic myth, with some clever revisionist flair. Himesh Patel the MVP!” reports Slash Film’s Jeremy Mathai.
Alex Walason writes, “The first reactions to #TheOdyssey are here, and as you’d expect, they are incredible, highlighting Nolans immense and massive set pieces, the incredible performances across the board, the surprising horror elements of the film, the relevant themes, and comparisons to LOTR trilogy calling it a stunning achievement in every sense. We are so back folks.”
Another user called @fedaralia writes, “The Odyssey redefines the standard for what an epic should be. Tom Holland gives a career defining performance as ‘Telemachus’, and Christopher Nolan’s carefully crafted work has turned out to be his magnum opus. A must see in @IMAX #TheOdyssey.”
Indie Wire’s Chris O’Falt says, “The superlative I’ll throw at it: Nolan’s greatest IMAX achievement. Prev films had jaw dropping IMAX moments, this one —in part, it’s not switching between ws 70mm & sq IMAX — the large format is incorporated into the total compositional vision.”
MovieWeb’s Joseph Deckelmeier said, “#TheOdyssey reminded me why I love this medium so much. This is the kind of filmmaking that completely pulls you in and demands to be experienced on the biggest screen possible. It’s exactly why IMAX exists.”
Entertainment editor Mark Daniell said, “With #TheOdyssey, Christopher Nolan elevates his filmmaking ambitions into brand-new territory. A fantastically vivid director, Nolan opens up a mythical world that is something to behold on the biggest screen you can find. Sweeping and grandiose, this is why we go to the movies.”
And, “#TheOdyssey is monumental filmmaking, its interpretation of Greek mythology electrifyingly uncanny. Staggering scale, thrillingly staged action, rich emotional throughlines. The cyclops and Circe sequences are among the best of Nolan’s career,” writes Jordan Farley of Games Radar.
Daily Express’ George Simpson states, “#TheOdyssey is a visually stunning epic with jaw-dropping IMAX visuals. Matt Damon battles sledgehammer storms and body horror monsters in this grounded fantasy with some excellent performances. The ancient tale with a couple of modern twists that may well frustrate purists.”
