New trailer.

I... just don't feel it.

Another shitty modern minimalist movie where everything is dark, dreary, and completely visually uninteresting. Garbage costuming, garbage set design, garbage production design, garbage makeup. Just look at this shit compared to something like Gladiator that was made 30 years ago yet looks a million times better and yet somehow was also cheaper. And this is from supposedly one of the better directors of this era.

Interstellar was a boring slog, and to this day I don't get why people are praising it so much.

Remember how it was touted as some super accurate sci-fi movie and then it ended with him saving the day because love is a universal force or somesuch new age hippy woo bullshit that made no sense and was essentially a gigantic deus ex machina?

This is the first time ever for sure that Nolan had such bad pre-release buzz. It's kinda insane.

I can't find an original source for this, but Nolan based the script off the "translation" by Emily Wilson. Who is a British-American shitlib. This is all self-inflicted.

After this he's going to do a film adaptation of the Allegory of the Cave and it's just going to be two hours of shadow puppets by firelight and dialogue reverberating into standing waves.

And he'll still fuck up the sound editing so everyone sounds like gravelly mumblers.

Perhaps we treated Troy too harshly.

We actually did.

Yes, the movie has plenty of stupid moments (like the Trojans fighting in front of their own fucking walls), but that movie actually had an all-star cast that could act, looked the part and weren't half-assing it.

The props were obviously historically anachronistic, but at least they didn't look cheap or any worse than other movies set in ancient Greece, the music was great, the fights were cool, and it ultimately respected the source material far more than this shitheap will.

Also, it had fucking colors.

The biggest crime is that we were robbed of a Odyssey movie starring Sean Bean.

Of the 'main' nolan movies

I liked Memento (but not perfect for sure), It's really watchable if nothing else.

Batman Begins and Prestige, moved badly. Don't like them. I know a lot do, but I didn't.

Dark Knight is amazing

Inception is overrated. It's has more visual moment than an overall solid story. It's a heist movie in the end with a lot of complicated things to do it.

The Dark Knight Rises is like Spiderman 3. Just couldn't get through it.

Interstellar is very very good, near top level sci-fi. It's better than Gravity which is the other mid 2010s pre ultra woke scifi.

Dunkirk is a pretty good movie, but there's a lot of slow parts (this one looks a lot like Odyssey)

Tenet is a movie that the sum is is way way less than the parts. Good ideas of a bitter guy that can send things back to destroy the world. But convoluted and odd.

Oppenheiner is one of the best movies since woke Oscars level since No Country From Old Men of 2007. Nearly perfect, could've cut the sex parts and trimmed the interview scenes. Otherwise great.

I expect Odyssey to be like Dunkirk overall, but probably worse, we'll see.

The trailers are showing a lot of the suitor drama which is lame even in the original. Can they show the sirens amazingly? They're showing the cyclops but I don't think it looks that much more amazing than the older movies with stock motion. I'm not even going to mention the bizarre cashing, it's more the flatness and fairly odd putting style so far I don't like,

I'm still stuck on the "Defy the Gods" tagline, as if Odysseus didn't get help along the way from the gods.
 
Nolan is just a serious JJ Abrams: a mostly competent director who sometimes produces good scenes, but an absolute dog shit writer who doesn't know he's awful at writing. Or maybe he does know which is why he purposely screws up the sound.

As for D'Odyssey, I think the simple answer is Nolan is a standard lefty Hollywood weirdo who was just better at hiding it than others. That or he pulled a Daniel Vavra and sold out for money or to get the DGA presidency. There's no artistic excuse to justify what he's done here, and you'll notice nobody involved with the production is trying to. They're going to rely on their fellow travelers in the media, and the many redditors typing from home, to call critics racist right-wingers or blame YouTube grifters for it underperforming. Meanwhile, come next Oscars, everyone's getting a nomination.
 
Note how people are already laughing about the Ellen Page and Lupita rumors that have have spread trough the internet and yet neither Nolan nor any of the higher ups who worked on the movie are confirming or denying it.

These cowards even hid Lupita in the trailers and only showed a close up of Ellen covered in mud & laying on the ground.

The rumors are most likely true and Universal is scared shitless of their own audience. It hasn't even been officially announced who they are playing even tho the movie is coming out in a few months and we know the roles of all other famous actors in it.

Then why hire these two fuckers in the first place? The actors were cast between 2024 & 2025 so right when the woke backlash gained momentum. Universal knew what would happen.

I hope this movie leaks early. The woke shitheads at Universal deserve it. Someone leak this shit pls.

The whole vibe looked great in "Dunkirk," where the shitty lighting added to the tension. Remains to be seen if the lighting scheme works for Ancient Greece.

I'm going to go see it and so are the rest of you fags.

You know I'm right.

The entire point of the Odyssey is not to fuck with the gods and the only reason Odysseus is on this journey is that he fucked with Poseidon far too much.

The final insult from this film would be to turn into some reddit-tier atheist interpretation of the Odyssey...so its probably going to happen.
