If anything other directors are copying him without understanding why it works in his films and not in every film.

Does it work though? For being the first film shot totally in Imax, The Odyssey was kind of dull to look at.

The Odyssey was kind of dull to look at.

It's a movie where the stills/screenshots aren't that visually interesting but that the actual video (accompanied by a killer score/soundtrack) is somehow visually stunning. Agamemnon's armor draws the eye in every scene it's in (especially the opening of Troy's gates), the giant Laestrygonians seemed terrifyingly strong and powerful, the visuals of Odysseus's men slurping down Circe's soup, all had visual qualities that make an indelible impression.

And obviously the dull, darkly lit, grayed out scene of the dead characters talking to Odysseus from beyond the grave really sells that scene, too.

Maybe I don't have a subtle enough eye.

But still, there could have been some spectacle.

Like the scene where Zeus is destroying the ship, and for some reason he does it with rain and wind? And this was changed from the original story, where Zeus strikes with with, obviously, a gigantic fucking lightning bolt. Is there some artistic reason for this that I missed? I know Nolan hates CGI, but come on.

I enjoyed the movie well enough, but it never wowed me.
