Nolan's "The Odyssey" rivals Lord of the Rings in epic action thrills

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's "The Odyssey" impresses with its massive visual scale and IMAX filmmaking, while departing from the director's trademark complex narratives — no looping timelines, no ambiguous endings. The film fits into Nolan's recurring themes of fate and consequences but is straightforward and accessible on first viewing. Critics compare its epic action to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. It opens in cinemas on July 17.
