Christopher Nolan hurls a cinematic javelin at the summer box office with an astounding adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey. His unique vision combines Greek mythology and a classic production design with modern dialogue and multi-racial casting. The latter caused great consternation with the usual manosphere crowd, who lost their minds at the trailer’s reveal of Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy and actor Elliot Page portraying Sinon. Well, the haters are about to eat crow, because Nolan’s near-three-hour epic smashes expectations in a superbly acted, thematically powerful fantasy adventure loaded with Hollywood’s premiere talent.
