I generally did not like Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. It looked beautiful. But for some reason I found large chunks of it…boring. I just didn’t care. And the movie is “woke,” but not in a way that gets in the way of telling the story.
I honestly don’t know why I feel this way. The movie has a lot of action, adventure and horror, but I rolled my eyes lot and checked my watch a lot. I wanted it to wrap up as soon as possible.
I think some of my complaints would be fixed if the structure of the story had been updated a little bit for modern expectations. But, really, I’m at a loss as to why I found it so boring given how many exciting things happen during it.
It’s something of a mystery.
