Video Review – Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey makes an epic look easy

July 20, 2026 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno with a video review of The Odyssey…

Christopher Nolan is undoubtedly one of the best filmmakers of our time, but no one could have predicted how effortless and easy Nolan could make The Odyssey feel. With his swift direction, one of his best scripts to date, and an all-star cast giving it their all, it’s impossible to ignore the power of this film.

Could we be seeing Nolan head towards another successful awards season? Only time will tell, but we may need to start our campaigns for Anne Hathaway now as she’s the clear standout in a cast jam-packed with some of the career best from those involved. Join us for an in-depth video review discussing awards chances, the epic scope of the film, and how some sloppy editing kept this from being a flawless masterpiece.

Check out the review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…
