WELCOME

Everyone knows how The Odyssey ends. That spoiler is nearly 3,000 years old, so Christopher Nolan’s challenge was never what happens, but how to make the journey unforgettable on screen. His answer? Go big. Shot entirely on IMAX cameras, with a reported $250 million budget and a cast led by Matt Damon, Nolan’s epic gives one of literature’s greatest adventures the full big-screen treatment. Nolan adds a fresh psychological dimension to Odysseus’ journey, and the episodic storytelling gives the film the feel of a true odyssey. Audiences showed up, proving there’s still a huge appetite for bold, truly epic filmmaking. Now it’s heading home. You might not have an IMAX screen in your lounge room, but you can still get close to the scale, detail, and sheer impact Nolan intended. Great home entertainment like The Odyssey puts you inside the story, close enough to feel every clash of steel and crash of the sea. Odysseus took ten years to get home. You can make the journey in three hours from the comfort of your own home. Our advice? Put the phone away, dim the lights, turn it up, and let the voyage begin. Paul Jones, Editor-in-Chief
