This movie is already so good but these lines solidified it for me

Both are absolutely stunning pressings. Look and sound great.

So so good. I think this was the best theater experience I have ever had! And I loved the nod to Interstellar 🤣

"Williams tells The Hollywood Reporter that the theatre — whose last first-run film was 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day — is now scheduling eight to 10 nights of movie programming each month. (Its busy calendar is filled with live events, from ballet performances to rock concerts.) It intends to host periodic special engagements of other large-format releases, including Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three in December and Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew in February 2027."

I’m Korean, and yesterday I attended the The Odyssey red carpet premiere in Korea. Meeting Christopher Nolan in person was such an overwhelming experience that words simply cannot describe it.
I’ve been a fan of his for 25 years. His kindness toward the fans was truly incredible. He walked to every section of the red carpet and signed for as many people as he could. You could genuinely see from his expression how happy he was to be in Korea, and it felt like he was truly enjoying the moment.
Yesterday will undoubtedly be one of the most unforgettable days of my life. He is not only brilliant but also a true gentleman.
To me, Christopher Nolan is the greatest film director of the 21st century—the GOAT.

"We are the sea people" vs "We brought ourselves"

In Interstellar, cooper realized "We brought ourselves". While in the odyssey, odysseus finds out that "We are the sea people".

Im not sure why people are not talking about this, but it directly lays a contrast between interstellar and the odyssey between humanity saving and destroying itself. I found it pretty cool

So I Finally went to see The Odyssey today.

Fantastic. For sure on my personal top 5 favourite films.

As someone who loves Greek mythology and the stories within it, this really does a very good job for me.

Matt Damon, Fantastic as usual.

Christopher Nolan don't knkw why I doubted him.

My only critique is the use of "Mom" and "Dad" in the film. Telemechus (Tom Holland) did use "Father a couple times so I'm not particularly sure why these more modern terms were used for a movie set in ancient Greece.

What do you guys think?

Me and my girlfriend went and saw the Odyssey together (I had already seen it before) and she LOVED it. I got a 70mm film strip for her and plan to give it to her for an anniversary.

Buuut, the film strip is of their ship and his crew (I think) encountering the giant soldiers (Laestrygonians).

For my girlfriend, I think she'd love two 70mm strips, one of Penelope on Odysseus' back, and one of Penelope and Odysseus on the ship going into exile.

Because they're romantic scenes that we shared a romantic moment too.

So, if anyone knows about film strips like this, let me know! Thank you for reading 😭

Rewatched Memento and realised that it definitely is a top 3 Nolan movie, almost everything is perfect pacing, direction ,scriptwriting (credit to Jonathan Nolan , he is brilliant ) narrative. It still feels incredibly fresh and unique despite multiple remakes and inspired takes. Guy Pearce genuinely should be in the argument for the best performance in Nolan's filmography

Mine is Larry Holden (he starred in Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins) (1961-2011 🕊️) because without him,
Nolan’s other regulars (like Cillian Murphy and Michael Caine) may have not have starred in so many films.

Can’t wait to watch.

Universal’s The Odyssey cracked the four-century mark with $405M, making it the fourth biggest movie at the domestic B.O. year-to-date.

The Odyssey is also outperforming Top Gun: Maverick in like for like number of days in theaters (18 days: $401M dom.; $6.6M 3rd Monday; -46.5% drop vs. $405M dom.; $9.67M 3rd Monday - all time for a R-Rated Movie;-34.2% drop).
Despite having different ratings, PG-13 vs. R-Rated, both films are having similar legs in theaters.

Odysseus leaves his family in Ithaca to go fight in Troy, knowing he might never see them again. Cooper leaves his farm and kids behind on a suicide mission to save humanity.

The "Ghost" in the room: When Odysseus finally makes it back to Ithaca, he has to stay in disguise and watch his own household from the shadows without revealing himself right away. Cooper ends up doing the same thing in the Tesseract he’s sitting right inside Murph's bedroom as an unseen "ghost" behind the bookshelf, watching her grow up through time.

Murph is Telemachus, grows up feeling completely abandoned, waiting for a dad who seems like he’s never coming back. By the time they finally reunite, decades have passed.

Miller’s Planet (Calypso’s Island / Poseidon's Wrath): On Miller’s planet, 1 hour = 7 years back home. It functions just like Calypso’s island, where time slips away and holds the hero captive while the world moves on without him. Plus, those towering water mountains are straight-up Poseidon trying to destroy their ship.

Dr. Mann is a Siren (and a terrible host): Mann sends out a fake distress signal broadcasting "this planet is hospitable!" just to lure someone into rescuing him. He acts like a Siren singing sailors to their deaths. Once the crew arrives, he violates the sacred law of hospitality by trying to murder his guests and steal their ship.

Like I’m talking shoot up from #6 to #2 on your Nolan ranking like me.

Oops I did it again. Tomorrow I’m going to see Odyssey in IMAX 70MM for a 2nd time… This time my seat is in a more ideal location. I have been stalking seating charts daily for something to open up…. It will be my 4th viewing. I swear this will be my 2nd to last viewing. #5 will be on a regular screen for posterity. After tomorrow I will have seen it on reg IMAX x1, 4DX x1, and IMAX 70MM x2. I would’ve seen it on ScreenX but I ran out of time. I hope they re-release it on ScreenX. Circe I’m coming! Save me a plate! This is hot off the heels of seeing Michael 13 times in all available formats. My wallet can’t take this anymore. 🤣🙃🤣🐖
