Emily Wilson, acclaimed academic and translator of The Iliad and The Odyssey, shared her review of the movie with the London Review of Books, and her write-up was pretty scathing. “Nolan’s Odyssey lacks many of the elements that make the poem great. This next sentence has garnered a lot of attention on social media: "There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.” With China, Japan and Korea still to come, The Odyssey is expected to pass $1.5 billion by the end of its theatrical run. Anime fans may also recall the '80s Ulysses 31 series, which put a futuristic spin on the tale.
