Nolan's obsessions with the non-linear storytelling gimmick really hurts this film. It jumps around so much, and spends so little time on any one particular moment or scene, that you never really feel like Odysseus is on an epic journey spanning many years. When he makes it home, you never feel like he's been gone for 20 years. The film does not capture the grandeur and scope of the original epic. That's why it feels rushed and too long simultaneously. The movie comes off like a rough draft. Nolan was searching for the actual story but never quite found it.
@GPierce10 I agree. A return to our traditions is much needed. Poll data shows thatโs happening in Gen Z. I think thatโs cause for hope.
But itโll take some conscious effort on the younger millennials and below to make the change stick.

High school phenomenon: boys begin referring to each other by last name, an arbitrary few never lose this designation and 15 years hence are still exclusively called by their surname
