Ashish Chanchlani reviews The Odyssey
Taking to Instagram Stories, Ashish wrote, "I am speechless." He added, "Watching The Odyssey made me realise the true magic of the big screen. What a film they've made. It's a 10/10. There isn't a single boring moment in the entire film. It has action, horror, and it's completely Matt Damon's show—he carries the film effortlessly from start to finish. Tom Holland is good, and Robert Pattinson is outstanding. Zendaya is good too. Robert has a very different role and showcases incredible range. This is going to be a blockbuster. It will become so huge that getting tickets later is going to be difficult."
Ashish further wrote, "This is the first Christopher Nolan film that has made me feel so emotional. His earlier films were narratively quite complex. Oppenheimer was more of a courtroom drama. But this film is filled with emotion—between fathers and sons, husbands and wives, and families. It's a story about Greek gods, witches and monsters, yet at no point does it feel like you're watching visual effects. Nolan has made sure the film looks incredibly real." He also said that after watching one of the horror sequences in the film, he believes Nolan should make more horror films.
Ashish revealed that he plans to watch the film again and added, "And to everyone who said during the teaser and trailer that this is the first Christopher Nolan film that looks boring, you're all going to be proved wrong. Just wait until the box office numbers come in by the end of August or September. This film is going to do well in Hindi too. It has tremendous commercial appeal."
