Boldly go where..

Ulysses (Matt Damon) in the movie of the same (The Odyssey) name wins the Trojan War through deception .. but is it his guilt or his sense of adventure.. the irresistible draw of the unconquered unknown.. that draws him to perhaps the most perilous discretionary voyage in the history of mythology. While wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) fends off suitors, and son Telemachus (Tom Holland) shows all the hesitancy of coming of age, our protagonist, in spite of the close counsel of Athena (Zendaya), careens from one tragedy to the other - Circe to Calypso (Charilze Thereon) of the lotus eaters, to the terror of the multi headed Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis. Nolan brings the same grayscale and foreboding as Interstellar, while the many oil lamps and rough hewn architecture detract from any insinuation of "too much special effects". Overall a great movie and a must watch, but not one of the soul stirring Interstellar types that truly stand the test of time

16.5/20
