The Odyssey 4K 2026 Ultra HD 2160p

For ten years, Odysseus (Matt Damon), king of Ithaca, laid siege to Troy under the command of Agamemnon (Benny Safdie). The grueling war ended with the destruction of the Trojans, and Odysseus secured victory through cunning—his gullible enemies brought a wooden horse, given as a gift, inside the city walls, where Achaean warriors were hiding. But the king’s return was delayed for another 10 years—cursed by Poseidon and driven by the winds, Odysseus finds himself on Calypso’s (Charlize Theron) island and recalls the horrors of the slaughter. At home, his faithful wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) awaits him, while suitors led by Antinous (Robert Pattinson) seek her hand in marriage. Telemachus (Tom Holland), Odysseus’s son, refuses to believe his father is dead and tries to uncover the truth about his fate.

User Review

All the insinuations about the cast, all the endless memes featuring Elliot Page as Achilles, all the jokes about a Black Helen—it all turned out to be just promotional fluff, beneath which lay the gem that was revealed to us at the film’s release.

A quick anti-war statement—and here’s what it is:

1. The People of the Sea—throughout the entire film, Penelope and other characters periodically repeat an ominous message about the People of the Sea. They will come, they must be feared, and nothing can hide from them (spoiler: Ramses III managed to do so, and in the movie, they aren’t even shown at all). Then, halfway through the film, Anne Hathaway actually blurts out that civilization is coming to an end! You’d think—how could she possibly know that? We know it; Nolan must have read about it somewhere—but where on earth would Penelope, living in the 12th century BCE, have gotten that idea?!

2. Odysseus—Odysseus isn’t Odysseus anymore; he’s an American soldier with post-traumatic stress disorder who just can’t seem to return from Vietnam, even though he’s already back in his native Texas. Every night he has nightmares about that Vietnamese village (oh, sorry, Troy) that he and his platoon massacred. He won’t return home until he has fully processed the entire nightmare of war and, in repentance, come to terms with the atrocities he committed.

3. Athena—Athena isn’t Athena anymore either; she’s no longer the scheming woman egging on her favorite, Odysseus, to go on yet another escapade, just because she’s foolishly bet on him. No, now she acts as a personal psychoanalyst, helping Odysseus work through his inner struggles and contradictions. Moreover, Aphrodite’s face isn’t just a face—it’s the face of a Trojan girl who was beheaded during the assault right before our protagonist’s eyes. In other words, according to Nolan’s concept, Odysseus—in bold text—is Michael J. Fox from Brian De Palma’s *Casualties of War*, who will be haunted for the rest of his life by the face of that Vietnamese girl!

And so, as a result of all this, our Odysseus—who is no longer Odysseus— but a veteran suffering from Vietnam flashbacks, who has worked through his psychological issues with the help of the “Aphrodite” counseling agency, makes his way to Ithaca, kills all the suitors, crawls his way to Penelope, and unleashes a monologue that literally left my jaw on the floor!

It turns out the collapse of the Bronze Age began because the Greeks, at Odysseus’s suggestion, climbed into a wooden horse (wheels, Nolan! it was on wheels even in the myth!), stealthily infiltrated Troy, plundered and burned the city, slaughtered and raped a whole bunch of people, and thereby violated Zeus’s inviolable law of hospitality!

I don’t mean to say anything, but that globe is way too big for that owl!

And yeah, all those attempts to tie the movie to real history—where the Greeks are tearing across the sea in a Viking drakkar!
