The Odyssey (2026)
Drama/Fantasy/War IMAX Rated 15 If you forget Tenet , which try as I might I can’t, Christopher Nolan is the powerhouse creative force in contemporary, big budget cinema. He doesn’t make bad films (provided you’ve wiped Tenet from your brain). Taking on Homer’s The Odyssey was never going to be easy, but even if Spielberg had directed it on I’d have been a bit sad that Nolan wasn’t in charge. The Odyssey is one of the few films I’ve been genuinely salivating in anticipation of. We had to see it in IMAX because that’s how it was shot. No half measures. My copies of Iliad and The Odyssey were sitting there looking at me to read again (I also have The Return to watch as part of this Greek-ing out), but like Game of Thrones, I just wanted to see it on screen then decide. The IMAX in London is sold out until September and my friend paid £55 for two tickets. We’ve recently moved to Sheffield and the IMAX here charged us £16 for two seats. It was still busy, very busy and I don’t like crow...
