See the Movie The Odyssey

**After 27 Centuries, The Odyssey, one of the greatest stories ever told, comes to the big screen.**

**From Cinemark:** *Christopher Nolan’s next film, The Odyssey, is a mythic action epic shot across the world. The film brings Homer’s foundational saga for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026. The Odyssey stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson and Lupita Nyong’o, with Zendaya and Charlize Theron. The Odyssey is produced by Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan for their company, Syncopy. The executive producer is Thomas Hayslip.*

**Rotten Tomatoes** rates the movie 95%/97% [Critics/Audience].

From the Wall Street Journal:

*It isn’t exactly news that Homer’s “Odyssey” is a very, very good poem. But seeing Christopher Nolan’s screen adaptation drove this home again for me. The hotly anticipated mega-spectacle is, in the end, pretty good. But it isn’t Homer. Mr. Nolan’s shortcomings have made me love Homer more by comparison and sent me running back, agog, to his deathless masterpiece.*
*Mr. Nolan’s “Odyssey” succeeds as well as any adaptation can. It tells the story of Odysseus’ 10-year journey home from the Trojan War with verve and affection for the source material.*

**Consensus:** Reinvigorating an ancient adventure with majestic sweep and sterling work by its colossal ensemble, Christopher Nolan's *The Odyssey* imbues myth with primal human feeling.
