Not much to go on, looks great but that fucking power armour is really out of place

On the one hand I find the trailer pretty unremarkable. Mostly boring shots, and it seems to to be going for that "grounded" (not to be confused with realistic) style like the newer God of War, which I'm not that into.

On the other hand, Nolan is generally good about not spoiling the entire movie with the trailer, so the shots were probably intentionally kept vague and sort of boring.

 

[willothedog]

can it top Ulysses 31 as the definitive screen version of Homer's Odyssey?

[Trunx81]

Can't watch a movie where a Greek is not played by a cultural appropriate Greek, sorry. /s

Looks good, although Tom Holland took me out. He's just sooo out of place.

I'd say the vibe is ethereal enough that it fits. Has a hazy dream / nightmare quality to it.

 

[readonly]

Hopefully I can make out the voices over the loud music/ambient sound this time... Otherwise his movies are usually great.

 

[Madflavor]

Pretty much the only film I'm interested in for 2026. Hope Nolan doesn't fuck it up, we're long overdue for an Odyssey film.

Yes I'm aware of the made for tv film. I want an updated version.

 

[Ulysses 31]

can it top Ulysses 31 as the definitive screen version of Homer's Odyssey?

Naw, that sci-fi Greek Mythology won't be topped.

 

[HRK69]

I'm ready for Nolan to jizza all over my face

 

[John Bilbo]

Looks like at least a mixed bag. I'll give it a chance but it has a boulder to push up the hill before I get excited.

Behold, the beauty of IMAX

 

[IDKFA]

Still unsure about this.

It looks like expensive cosplay.

Is it because we're too used to it by now?

For me, for a few years now, I just can't get into all this. It's not believable. I know what the next line of dialogue would be in a movie, I know the camera angles, it all feels like I've seen it before. So I can see why it feels fake.

The lines spoken are tired: "Promise me you'll come back", "what if I can't.". Ok...

 

[P:axMagellanic]

I know he made batman films but that armour is absurd.

The fuck is this shit.

 

[diffusionx]

This movie looks like shit.

Nolan fucked up.

 

[The Cockatrice]

we really need someone to take on youtube, their compression and quality has dropped to all time garbage lows, you can;t even enjoy a proper trailer. Anyway aside from that goofy helmet at the start, looks great. Music and vistas will make or break this movie.

 

[IDKFA]

Is it because we're too used to it by now?

Maybe?

The 2004 version of Troy didn't have historically accurate armour, but it was more realistic than whatever Nolan is going for in this film?

Who is Odysseus kneeling to in this trailer? Is that supposed to be Achilles or Mycenaean Batman?

I think I'm just jaded with Hollywood attempts at films like this. Yes, I know the works of Homer are in the realms of fantasy, but this poem was written thousands of years ago about real bronze age civilizations. It could also be based on a real historical event.

I guess what I would like to see is a film that is historically accurate for the time period, cast with Greek actors and the dialogue spoken only in Mycenaean Greek language.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Wardrobe is horrendous.

Xena & Hercules had better wardrobes.

 

[StueyDuck]

Its Nolan, at worst its good .

We havent had a decent epic for a while, napoleon was super disappointing, gladiator 2 was shite, the only one i didnt see was the last duel, I heard that was ok.

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Nice production values but it gives no clue as to the film being any good. I suspect O brother will remain the best version of the odyssey.

 

[Trunx81]

Wardrobe is horrendous.

Xena & Hercules had better wardrobs.

This movie needs more Joxer.

 

[DeepEnigma]

This movie needs more Joxer.

And a lot more Aphrodite, Callisto and Gabrielle.

Instead, we get that lil bro Zendaya.

 

[Hudo]

Well, it can't be worse than Tenet, I guess.

 

[Sticks]

Wardrobe is horrendous.

Xena & Hercules had better wardrobs.

 

[GymWolf]

I'm just gonna rewatch the odissey with armand assante...

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

I'm so sick of Zendaya, I hope her role is kept to a minimum.

I don't dig those armors either. Interesting to see how Nolan works with hardcore fantasy.

 

[Poppinfresh]

I lump The Odyssey in with stories like Frankenstein, Dracula, and a few others.

They have all been done so many f'ing times already, do we really need another version?

Also, this film would be infinitely better with Ray Harryhausen-like special effects.

 

[Vick]

Looks like I'm going against the flow here, but had moderate interest in this movie before and now I'm sold by this Trailer. Like, can't fucking wait kind of sold.

I know he made batman films but that armour is absurd.

The fuck is this shit.

That's obviously a god. Ares?

Behold, the beauty of IMAX

Yeah, Universal channel fucked up real bad here.

 

[RJMacready73]

Has anyone seen the extended 5min IMAX opener?? Does it at least come together better than this teaser trailer?? As a previous poster said Nolan may be going for an ethereal/fantastical retelling of the story than a hardcore realistic setting which is a pity as it's too clean for my liking, it lacks that gritty dirty and real look of the opening of Gladiator 1 where the Legion looked like it had been fighting it's way across Europe

 

[dispensergoinup]

Ok so the gods have the legendary armor drops and Ody and crew have the starter sets.

Looks good I'm in!

 

[Vick]

Dude if that's really Agamemnon istead of one of the Olympians..

 

[EviLore]

 

[Sticks]

On some

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[Oberstein]

The costumes are so ridiculous I don't even know where to begin — especially the one that looks like a cartoon effect in close-up. Nothing about it works.

I also don't like that Dune-style filter, and more generally the trend in modern films to make everything look cold and grey.

 

[SJRB]

The hard cut from that emotional speech about wanting to get home to that dopey face of Tom Holland is hilarious.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

My soma is ready.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Huh, It's like we saw a different trailer. This looks great imo

 

[JackHanma]

Wardrobe is horrendous.

Xena & Hercules had better wardrobs.

Ahhh the good old days. Both great shows.

 

[3liteDragon]

I have the full quality IMAX trailer, just don't know how to post here if allowed. 120MB file

 

[DeepEnigma]

Ahhh the good old days. Both great shows.

I watched a few episodes last night due to these Odyssey threads, it was the ones with Cesar (Karl Urban) and Brutus.

They actually did a fantastic job with the The Ides of March scene.

 

[DaciaJC]

 

[Trilobit]

Looks okay. Not particularly exciting based on the trailer. Nothing like the Inception one.

 

[T4keD0wN]

What is with that shitass costume? A 2 minute trailer made me laugh for 5 minutes, i didnt even see most of it.

Not surprised cinemas are dying.

 

[falconhoof]

found a 4k version. Why the fuck do the official channels only have a HD version?!?!

Well, it's sure looking like a Chris Nolan flick. He seems to be hitting everything with the same tones, sci-fi, historical, wartime, they're all feeling so similar.
