Rated The Odyssey 7/10

Decent for a summer blockbuster. Quite good in some parts, particularly towards the end, but also surprisingly clumsy in other parts. Like, Nolan just decided that he's done trying to do a build-up of any kind for some scenes, he just barges right into them. It's just so... flat. And it's like that all the way through until the emotional homecoming, when suddenly he decides to add some weight to things. Really strangely lopsided. I'd say that it seems like he's rushing to get to the end, but the damn movie is three hours long. And Hathaway and Pattinson are the only ones doing any real acting in this, Damon is just being Matt Damon with a beard. Anyway, I shouldn't overthink it, this was still a fine way to kill 3 hours.
