@jowrotethis Patel has some incredibly key scenes.

Also, more Himesh Patel in our lives is nothing but a positive thing!

@N30N01R @NolanAnalyst These were all in the film

@Nick76220740 @Nerdrotics @YouTube Cry more.

[Zoheb Ali @HebAli93]

@HDMOVIESOURCE @NolanAnalyst Can confirm that it is. At least, more rewatchable than Oppenheimer which made nearly $1B.

How am I going to sleep after seeing THE ODYSSEY? A near masterpiece (why have a bad "actor" read the first few lines?). Once it gets going 30 minutes in, totally locked in for 2.5 hours with back-to-back-to-back-to-back iconic setpieces. Hathaway needs to/can win again. 4.5/5.

[Danny Jarabek @dtjcinema]

THE ODYSSEY toggles between epic and awkward where the mythos of the text and Nolan’s modern style often feel at odds. The set pieces thrive, but the dialogue/editing are clumsy and ends up feeling like a reheated formula of Oppenheimer. Göransson is the most god-defying force.

[Zoheb Ali @HebAli93]

This is the kind of blockbuster that reminds you why going to the cinema still matters. See it on the biggest screen you can find, it’s absolutely mesmerising on IMAX. 

I’ll be thinking about this movie for ages.

[Zoheb Ali @HebAli93]

Christopher Nolan has somehow made a film that feels impossibly huge while never losing sight of the people at its centre, and feels like the movie he’s always been destined to make. The Odyssey is packed with some of the most jaw-dropping sequences he’s ever put on screen, but…

[Zoheb Ali @HebAli93]

This film is GORGEOUS.

I grew up loving films like Gladiator, Braveheart, The Last Samurai, and Troy, and this scratched that exact itch while somehow feeling even grander. We don’t get many old-school epics anymore, especially ones this uncompromising in their vision…

[Zoheb Ali @HebAli93]

seems to have found the balance between overwhelming you with sound and knowing when silence is the more powerful choice. 
Hoyte van Hoytema, having shot Nolan’s Dunkirk, Interstellar, Tenet and Oppenheimer, has finally outdone himself on the cinematography level...

[Zoheb Ali @HebAli93]

a weight that CGI-heavy blockbusters just can’t replicate. It feels tactile, massive, and completely immersive.

Matt Damon is phenomenal. He brings a quiet exhaustion and vulnerability to Odysseus without ever sacrificing the larger-than-life presence the character demands...

@sqslav @Nerdrotics @YouTube I’ve posted my review elsewhere. Not hard to find it.

[Zoheb Ali @HebAli93]

@Daystarz01 @Nerdrotics @YouTube Why would I need to? I’ve watched this one. And I know who’s sharing it.

[Zoheb Ali @HebAli93]

@CarlosFreytesJr @GovPritzker I’m flying interstate @CarlosFreytesJr. Do the work! 😂

Curry Barker’s OBSESSION is breaking all kinds of records.

Have you seen the horror flick?

#obsession

[Midnight Double Feature - A Film Podcast @mdfpod]

Spielberg’s #DisclosureDay is a lot of fun and harken’s back to the director’s early 00’s work where he was actively being a little more playful with his films. More Minority Report than Encounters. Incredible Blunt, great Firth. Good chase film full of wonder.

[Zoheb Ali @HebAli93]

@bwags @ayroned Seeing it in 5 hours. Absolutely can’t wait. Australia is with you.
