From Anne Hathaway's performance to the epic film sets, here are critics' spoiler-free, honest takes on the movie.
I’m an award-winning writer and editor living in New York City, where I currently work at BuzzFeed as the Senior Lifestyle Editor. , Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron — is not only the first full-length movie entirely shot on IMAX film, but movie theaters like AMC are scheduling around-the-clock viewings, which are selling out in droves.
Now that the reviews embargo has officially been lifted, film critics have been publishing their thoughts — and folks, things are looking good!! So here's a no-spoiler roundup of what critics have been saying aboutthrills generously for the bulk of its near three-hour running time: Every few minutes, it seems, it throws at its audience another mighty setpiece that, in almost any other summer studio spectacle, would be a climactic standout.
"said,"While Odysseus’ emotional journey here can be as choppy as a rough day at sea, and the 'civilization is eroding' theme is undercooked, the film’s bigger observations on the effects of war on those who are forced to participate in it are well met. The poem, packed with events, with description, with magic and all manner of deceptions, is episodic by nature. How do you make this story flow and glide on-screen?
Maybe you do it not by trying to pack everything in, but by cutting away, by focusing on the most potent, exciting, and moving details.
"said,"It is an anomalous big-studio entertainment that Nolan has filled with stars and polished to a high gleam, turning a 3,000-year-old poem into a smart, thoughtful film with Old Hollywood allure. "from production design to costumes. That sort of all-around excellence is a staple in Nolan’s filmography, be it insaid,"Nolan refuses to tremble before the canon.
Grabbing mighty scissors, he cuts and rejiggers Homer and a bit of Virgil to transform the classical texts into his type of tale: one fixated on memory, self-identity, destructive genius and the slippage of time.
"said,"Epic in every sense of the word. From the scale of it all to the soul of it all, this film is an absolute beast. My deepest 'film bro' quality is that I am a Nolan fan through and through. I love the way he plays with time and puzzle-piecing a narrative, only to bring everything crashing together into place in the final act.
It always leaves me floored — even on a rewatch.is a breathtaking epic with career-best filmmaking, stunning performances, and a powerful emotional core. Matt Damon shines, Ludwig Göransson’s score soars, and the spectacle is unforgettable.
":"A cinematic triumph. It’s a feat of blockbuster filmmaking that shows a director at the peak of his career, and his mournful testament to the hubris of humanity and the consequences of war.
"is gripping, fascinating, sometimes horrifying, and, just when it needs to be, quite moving. It's also very clearly a Christopher Nolan movie – so much so, in fact, that it made me realize he's been making grounded myths for some time.
"is a marvelous achievement, one that feels more horrifyingly relevant to modern times than expected. Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway deliver career-defining performances among a highly memorable all-star ensemble. "
