I never doubted Christopher Nolan even when he was criticised heavily for his casting choices in this film. I knew he would deliver no matter what... And boy was I right... Yet another masterpiece from Sir Christopher Nolan. The only grief I have is that of not being able to watch it in the true IMAX format... For that matter, this movie was my first movie I watched out of a regular theatre screen. I watched this in EPIQ and I'm glad I chose this movie to be my first... I went into the movies with just a basic knowledge of the plot and that made the movie more engaging and astonishing for me... The story revolves around Odysseyus after the War of Troy, how he finds his way back home and in the process, himself. Matt Damon as Odysseyus is indeed the backbone of the film... His performance was exceptional. He easily conveyed Odysseyus' moral ambiguity and conscience with such ease. The last 15 minutes of the movie was nothing less than chef's kiss... The visuals and visual quality were top notch. Every frame could be turned into a wallpaper. They way they've captured the scenes from the boat in which they travel is a wonder for me. The locations they've shot in also adds to the visual aesthetics of the movie. The music and score by Ludwig Göransson was nothing less than worldclass... Coming to other performances, I especially loved Anne Hathaway's performance as Penelope. The long wait of her's for her husband to return and the growing pressure on her to remarry and all were immaculately communicated to the audience by her. Tom Holland as Telemachus was good... Robert Pattinson was amazing and particularly loved Himesh Patel as Eurylochus. There are three instances of the film that's still stuck in my head, even after as I'm writing this review. These instances made my eyes well up and induced an intense goosebumps throughout my body... I would suggest everyone to watch this in the best theatre available to you... Crafts like these and their experiences shouldn't be missed...
