Christopher Nolan’s $250m Odyssey redefines the epic by narrowing gods’ roles and intensifying homecoming, using IMAX 70mm to capture vast seas and intimate faces. The film reorders Homer’s three-part form, foregrounding memory, action, and the price of return, with a stark, bleak tone that lingers beyond the credits.
