Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey opened in theaters today with the kind of most studios can only dream about. Early said critics were calling the film a major cinematic event. People reported that it briefly became Nolan's highest-rated film on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 98% score before wider release.
The film Homer's ancient epic with Matt Damon as Odysseus. Its large cast includes Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Charlize Theron, and Robert Pattinson. Reviews have praised its scale, practical effects, music, and Hoyte van Hoytema's photography. Several critics described the film as a and one of the year's strongest .
The release is also a technical story. Nolan shot the film entirely with IMAX cameras, and Axios noted that only a small number of U.S. theaters can show it in the 70mm IMAX format he prefers. That has turned some screenings into destination events. Fans are traveling to see the movie as close as possible to the director's .
The opening weekend will test whether that critical excitement can become mainstream momentum. Premium-format tickets are more expensive than standard seats, but Nolan's audience has often shown a willingness to pay for a theatrical experience that feels rare. That could help the film even if its length limits the number of daily showtimes.
The praise has not been completely unanimous. Some reviewers found the film or uneven. A few classicists also questioned how freely Nolan handles parts of the myth. The larger response has been unusually strong for a three-hour literary epic arriving in the middle of the summer .
For Universal, the opening matters because The Odyssey is both expensive and unusual. It is not a superhero sequel, but it is being sold like a global blockbuster. If the first weekend matches the reviews, Nolan may have turned one of the oldest stories in Western literature into one of the biggest movie events of 2026.
