What a waste of my time!!!

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

As Greek this film is a disgrace and insult Homer and the Greeks! Why I bother watch it?

I don't know why they bothered to call this a story of Odysseus. I'm no purist. Homer and the rest of them must have forgotten a lot and improvised some of the stuff along the way -- but why make a fictional story of some guy trying to get home and build a house of fictional cards of it? Oh, it's very -- modern. The color is desaturated, the special visual effects gloomy, the gore sloppy, the screams of the dying hellish. But when did Odysseus decide to defy Zeus instead of Poseidon? And what's Persephone doing as his companion? And why do they have to descend into the volcano? And why is the fiery cross sacred?You know what's happening? Bit by bit, frame by frame, these shameful productions are retrogressing fifty or more years to the days of the uncomplicated musclemen in the sand and sandal epics of the 1950s -- dubbed in Italian and shot at Cinecitta. It no longer matters what the story is about, as long as there is a lot of swordplay and, now that we have the technology for it, men changing into monsters and the other way around. Call the hero Odysseus if you want. Or Hercules or Perseus or Romulus or Uncle Remus. It no longer matters.I was only able to watch twenty minutes or so of this travesty. If this represents the future of cinema, I think it's way past time to apologize to Poseidon and get this horrifying journey over with.

a low budget TV style movie set in ancient times. Some reviewers alternately claim that they characters speak in the correct manner and some complain they don't, both groups seem to think the Ancient Greeks spoke archaic English. It's okay . no 300 style effects, the main Character is played by Mummy Baddie Arnold Vosloo and it's all loosely based on the Odyssey . If you are expecting much you won't be disappointed. filler filler filler Filler FILLER FILLER. more filler filler filler and a final line of filler filler filler filler FFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFF FFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFF the extra lines are to fulfill the ridiculous requirement for 10 lines of text, its a freaking review not a book

Actually I was using a bit of hyperbole, it wasn't as atrocious as I made it out to be in the summary, but to be honest it is still pretty bad. Some of the scenery and costumes are decent, some of the monsters are interesting and Arnold Vosloo is imposing and charismatic enough as Odysseus. However, the story is hackneyed and is very uneven in pace, the dialogue is a vast majority of the time absolutely abysmal, the direction is heartless, the pace is poor and the acting with exception of Vosloo is laughable particularly with Homer and the goddesses. While the ending comes across as rather cheesy. To conclude, pretty bad but there are some minor redeeming qualities. 3/10 Bethany Cox
