#TheOdyssey Technically Brilliant, A True Cinematic Experience!
The first 30 minutes takes time to get going, but once Odysseus’ journey back begins, the film is exhilarating. Some sequences genuinely feel like a horror movie, while others play out like a proper commercial film. The final act ties everything together with superb payoffs. It’s undeniably slow at times and isn’t packed with constant action, but it remains engaging throughout.
The technical aspects are exceptional. Visuals are breathtaking, and the sound design is fantastic, though a bit loud at times. Some gripes are that the dialogue is hard to follow at times, the emotional connection with a few characters doesn’t fully land, and the pacing is a bit sluggish early on. Other than that, this is a proper cinematic experience that deserves to be watched on the biggest screen possible. If you’re unfamiliar with Troy, the Trojan War, or the key characters, reading a quick summary beforehand will make the experience even more rewarding. Watch it!!
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Micah Richards learned that his father, Lincoln, had unexpectedly passed away shortly before going live on the BBC for England vs Argentina.
Richards still completed the broadcast, saying his father would have wanted “the show to go on”.
“He was my greatest fan. He barely missed a game my entire life.
He would take me wherever I needed to go as a kid, and he was the proudest parent possible during my professional career.
Dad would’ve wanted the show to go on this evening. And so it did.
My father Lincoln, my hero and inspiration.”
Spain reaches the World Cup final thanks to the style that Barcelona established and without a single Real Madrid player in the team. This is how things should be.
Beautiful.
