Christopher Nolan's latest film, 'The Odyssey,' starring Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway, has premiered. As of July 22, 2026, early reviews are mixed, with praise for its visual effects but criticism for its complex narrative.
The film, which is not based on Homer's epic but is an original sci-fi story, follows a crew on a deep-space mission. Damon plays the captain, and Hathaway plays a scientist. Nolan's signature non-linear storytelling is present.
Box office projections are uncertain. The film's budget is reported to be over $200 million. Critics note that while the cinematography is stunning, the plot may be too convoluted for general audiences.
