Watching THE ODYSSEY I thought to myself; is this how people felt while watching Seven Samurai, Lawrence of Arabia for the first time? A grand epic about the act of returning, pulse pounding, emotional, futuristic. Pattisions & Damon’s best performances. Loaded front to back. pic.twitter.com/8CJYhGvsTZ

Christopher Nolan's #TheOdyssey is flawless filmmaking, every inch as epic as you'd expect. Leading a stellar cast, Matt Damon gives Odysseus everything in a career-best powerhouse performance. Robert Pattinson is outstanding as Antinous and John Leguizamo's Eumaeus is sublime. pic.twitter.com/NDrr95vrnE

Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of THE ODYSSEY is as epic as movies get with some of the most breathtaking set pieces he’s ever attempted. A colossal achievement of scale, even by Nolan’s standards, its commitment to capturing as much as possible in-camera using new IMAX cameras… pic.twitter.com/UOOHd6lkbT

THE ODYSSEY is Christopher Nolan’s crowning achievement.

He fully commits to the myth and it's unlike anything he has made before. This movie is strange, stunningly beautiful, and the cast is doing the best work of their careers.

Do whatever you can to see it in IMAX 70MM. pic.twitter.com/yP4D7NpqpR

THE ODYSSEY is as epic as its source material with that level of Christopher Nolan spark that makes it something special. It's a story of love and loss and takes you on quite the journey in only the way Nolan knows how. Breathtaking, bold, and perfection. pic.twitter.com/ycJ2zHEDsQ

Christopher Nolan's #TheOdyssey is an absolute triumph and a crowning cinematic achievement from one of the great filmmakers of our time. It feels like everything Nolan has been working toward with IMAX has culminated here. The production design is incredible, the action is… pic.twitter.com/yLxocUEEdn

Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ is *incredible*. I've been lucky enough to watch it twice and it gets better on the second viewing.

I'm really blown away by this film.

If you can, SEE IT IN @IMAX 70mm. It’s a jaw dropping experience. It'll be great wherever you see it, but… pic.twitter.com/Gdiika6eCL

I saw THE ODYSSEY last week...
It's Christopher Nolan's most straightforward movie ever — and also maybe his most impressive.
Both the epic scale and attention to detail are absolutely stunning. The closest comparison I can think of is Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. pic.twitter.com/ivOvDaCSY4

I have seen Christopher Nolan's #TheOdyssey, and it is an astonishing achievement. A triumphant, spectacular epic. The performances from Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, John Leguizamo, Robert Pattinson and Lupita Nyong’o are genuinely grand. And for some, truly, the best… pic.twitter.com/IRXI6RVtr3

THE ODYSSEY is a filmmaking feast. A grand and gripping rendition of Homer’s epic, and one that feels uniquely Christopher Nolan. It’s sincerely hard to imagine any other filmmaker on the planet being able to bring that source material to screen with this much scale, scope and… pic.twitter.com/7jOO5Ch9ZZ

A heavy contributor to making The Odyssey utterly riveting from start to finish? All the jaw-dropping craftsmanship on display in the film. Hoyte van Hoytema’s work is as astounding as ever. It’s one breathtaking visual after the next, but also, I know the team went above and… pic.twitter.com/MJzIMcyUv6

I’ll squeeze in two more things for now. First, the sound design and the score, but particularly how phenomenally they’re woven together. It’s just seamless, and one is always enhancing the other. And lastly, I love being transported via a period piece, but I was especially…

THE ODYSSEY is an incredible visual epic with some thrilling action set pieces & moments when Christopher Nolan leans into horror in such a cool way!

All of the cast are on their A game in this film but Tom Holland and Himesh Patel stood out as surprise favorites to me. pic.twitter.com/UazMElthCX

— Jacob (@JacobFisherDF) July 6, 2026

it’s a little disorienting at first before it settles into what feels like a series of vignettes for a little while and then before you realize what’s happened, it all comes together in time for the third act. AKA: a Nolan take on The Odyssey. Every single set piece is unreal

— evan romano (@EvanRomano) July 6, 2026

whole cast is great. everyone does their part but the Samantha Morton sequence is already stuff of legends and rightfully so. it’s the closest thing to a horror movie that Nolan has ever done

— evan romano (@EvanRomano) July 6, 2026

Believe the hype(rbole): The Odyssey is that film. Dense but accessible, packed with career-best work from the stacked cast – Samantha Morton is extraordinary – it's a dizzying mix of craft and spectacle that's built to last. pic.twitter.com/cwpN4HvG73

— Phil de Semlyen (@PhildeSemlyen) July 6, 2026

Robert Pattinson's suave villain feels cut from the same cloth as Alan Rickman in "Robin Hood." Samantha Morton delivers another one-scene wonder (can we give her more to do?). It's another hit for Nolan, one his die-hards will digest for decades to come. pic.twitter.com/seXxajIKcL

I am shocked SHOCKED that Christopher Nolan seems to have made a good movie

— ViewerAnon (@ViewerAnon) July 6, 2026

I’d go as far as to say there’s at least 2 horror sequences! Haven’t been that locked into a film in a while during those sequences

One would think you'd draw more viewers if you impressed the critics instead of the shills. I guess if anyone can make a masterpiece made up of woke turds it's Christopher Nolan. Maybe he was looking for a real challenge? Still waiting for the audience reviews before I see it. If they had actually tried accurate casting and a non-politically charged translation. I would've been dead center seat on Thursday night. Now I just hope it's worth spending a dime on.

I'm not an influencer, just a humble interviewer. I'll say this about The Odyssey: It's an astonishing spectacle and a brilliant, subversive adaptation. The scale was a given, but Nolan's psychological interrogation of events was what satisfied me most. A bracingly modern take.

— Tom Page (@thomas_page) July 6, 2026

THE ODYSSEY is a visual movie with some thrilling moving images & moments. When Christopher Nolan leans into the medium, the movement of the objects, with sound, it’s transcendent.

All of the cast are on their A game in this film, pretending to have emotions, but believably.

— Chris Oldman © (@AlsikkanTV) July 6, 2026

The Odyssey is not only one of Nolan's finest films (perhaps "the" finest), but also one of the best in the genre - and indeed, one of the greatest films in the history of cinema. You have to see it to believe it.

I grew up loving grand, sword and action dramas such as "Gladiator," "Braveheart," "The Last Samurai," and yes, even "Troy." I'm beyond thrilled to say Nolan's ambitious dissection of myth and legend looms large over them all.[/

Im still thinking about Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY, but I absolutely loved it & it’s one of the best films of the year. Powerhouse performances esp from Matt, Anne & Tom!

A sensational experience tonight seeing The Odyssey at the world premiere on 70mm IMAX, with pretty much the entire cast (plus Laurence Fishburne!) watching it at the same time.

My second go round and even more satisfying this time around. This is rich, propulsive, deeply… pic.twitter.com/JXhhjHgueX

#TheOdyssey is monumental filmmaking, its interpretation of Greek mythology electrifyingly uncanny. Staggering scale, thrillingly staged action, rich emotional throughlines. The cyclops and Circe sequences are among the best of Nolan’s career.

I can guarantee the cinematography, set design, sound design, editing, and every technical aspect of this movie will be better than The Last Jedi. Those things will be worth the price of admission alone, the acting and storytelling will be the sugar on top
