00:00Christopher Nolan rarely misses when it comes to building hype, but this time, the reaction
00:06is far from unanimous.
00:08The trailer for The Odyssey, Nolan's ambitious adaptation of Homer's epic poem has finally
00:13landed online, and it's already splitting opinions.
00:17Universal released the nearly two-minute trailer on Monday, December 22, offering the first
00:22real look at Matt Damon as Odysseus, the Greek hero trying to find his way home after the
00:27Trojan War.
00:30Instead of loud dialogue or dramatic speeches, the trailer relies heavily on vigils.
00:35A brief glimpse of the Trojan horse confirms that the fall of Troy plays a role early in
00:40the film.
00:41There's also a dark cave scene where a massive shadow moves in the background, teasing danger
00:46without revealing much.
00:48Emotional beats are subtle with Anne Hathaway as Penelope and Tom Holland as tellymakers
00:53appearing briefly.
00:56While excitement is high, the trailer faces mixed reactions on social media.
01:00One ex-user wrote, The Odyssey trailer did nothing to make me want to see it.
01:05It was just an overall boring trailer.
01:07A user shared concerns about Cyclopes, adding, I really want to watch Nolan's Odyssey but
01:12I'm concerned that the Cyclopes in the trailer just isn't historically accurate.
01:17Another said, The Odyssey trailer gave him snooze fest and I don't know if Matt Damon was the
01:22right choice.
01:24However, praise came just as fast.
01:26The Odyssey trailer is literally the most beautiful thing in existence.
01:30One fan posted.
01:31A fan commented, It's the only first trailer and we already know that the Odyssey will be
01:36one of the most visually stunning films of 2026.
01:39Whether boring or brilliant, the Odyssey has done its job, it has people talking.
01:45And knowing Christopher Nolan, this might just be the calm before the storm with a release
01:50date set for 17 July 2026.
02:02Let's see.
