The Odyssey is sitting at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics.
This is the same movie that cast zero Greeks, took Greek taxpayer money, filmed in Greece, and still completely disrespected the culture and story. Yet the critics are handing out near-perfect scores like it’s some masterpiece.

Audiences will have the final say when it actually releases.

This movie unironically whips because instead of trying to be a gritty recreation of 90s hacking, it now serves as a time capsule to an almost magical techno-fantasy of pre Y2K cyber-optimism.
A beautiful cyberpunk escapism bedtime story compared to the world we got.
