He has made sure he grounds a story about greek gods, magic and witch with as much realism as possible and that’s why he is one of the greatest filmmakers of our times. Narratively odyssey is a film about KARMA. Matt damon carries this film with i believe his career best performance and cements his status as one of the best leading actors of hollywood. I love him soo much man. And someone please give pattinson more villainous roles, he absolutely ACES IT, the range now he has is commendable. Odyssey is a sure shot blockbuster thats relentless and has countless epic set pieces one of which is HORROR and it has IMMENSE REPEAT VALUE
It is Nolan’s Mang um opus. It will be a superhit in hindi too cause it has the commercial power. I am watching it again tonight.’
