Review: Nolan's "Odyssey" is thrilling and vast but emotionally aloof

Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" arrives more than 70 years after Hollywood last attempted a straight adaptation of Homer's epic. The film is praised for its visual grandeur and confident handling of the hero's journey, but critics note an emotional aloofness that keeps viewers at arm's length. It is a major cinematic event that impresses the eye more than it moves the heart.
