The Odyssey (2026)

Philip and Jodi review Christopher Nolan and Universal Pictures' The Odyssey. This 2026 adaptation of the ancient Greek epic poem seeks to put Homer's work onscreen in blockbuster fashion, and the results are indeed epic. This film, shot entirely in IMAX, may not be the most faithful adaptation according to literary stalwarts, but director Christopher Nolan brings his signature grand-scale ambition to the just-shy-of-three-hour project. The perils of the high seas and the treachery of wartime politics keep audiences glued for a fun ride, one filled with more stars than the Aegean night sky.
