Tom Cruise’s praise comes as The Odyssey continues to receive positive reviews for its grand visuals, ambitious storytelling and performances. An excerpt from SCREEN’s review of the film read, “Nolan’s vision makes The Odyssey — packed with action, thrill and visual wizardry — one of the most extraordinary cinematic experiences in recent years. And, his storytelling ensures that the timeless themes of the epic are very much in tune with the crises that humanity is grappling with today. Even the horrific encounter with the one-eyed monster Polyphemus or the sorceress Circe, who turns Odysseus’s men into pigs, can’t lessen the weight of war that these warriors are carrying.”Story continues below this ad
