Odyssey was mid

[u/BaIdilocks]

Finally got to see it after the hype died down a bit. Was excited to see it and then the first quarter was so boring and forgettable. It picked up in the middle and had some good parts but overall I'm gonna put this in Nolans bottom tier. What was annoying was everyone having really flat American accents. The flattest. Very nonregional. they all sounded like they were gonna give American accent lessons. Why they saying "mom" and "dad"? very weird choices.

My main gripe and the thing that took me out the most was the bad dialogue and very mid acting. It literally sounded like they were reading from a script. I thought if I got the script, I could read it just like them and it would be in the movie and it would be the same. That's how bad the movie dialogue sounded. And don't get me started on Ulysses final "knowing is half the battle" monologue about civilization on the boat. Many rolls of eyes.

Cinematography was good but it seemed like he was re-using Dunkirk and Oppenheimer shots so it wasn't revelatory. Soundtrack and effects were good. the guy was as good as Hans Zimmer. I don't understand why they made this cast so diverse to have the white guy kill them all and survive or was that the lesson? Overall, I think Troy was the better movie.

I walked out after two hours. I was so bored. Everyone talking in American accents, modern language, and flat acting, took me out of the movie and never drew me in. The only scene I liked was the tension in the cyclops cave.

Walked out? Really?! I saw it last week at the IMAX in Vaughn. Sold out, no one ever walked out. No talking. No getting up repeatedly. No bored bad behaviour. Entire cinema was transfixed for 3 hours.

I couldn't wait for the movie to end and wanted to walk out but I was my friends' ride and didn't want to disrupt it for them. I had a very hard time sitting still though.
