Just perfect...

Best movie of this year hands down!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

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?

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

A decent enough film, certainly not good but not really bad.The acting is patchy. Vosloo is quite good as Obysseus, Bourne and Antonakos are OK in their roles but Edwards is terrible as Homer, not so much his performance as the fact that while the other characters are talking in a old style Homer speaks like a modern person and this jars every time he talks and finally Gibson is awful, completely wooden, but thankfully she isn't in it long.The story is simple with good guys and bad guys and we are in no real doubt about which is which. It is an old fashioned fantasy film with OK effects although the action sequences are a bit poor.Its a cheap film with a simple script and a decent pace.The mixture of modern and old speech patterns is annoying and the cheesy extra bit at the end is also annoying but it'll kill a bit of time painlessly.

It's neither good nor bad, amateurish acting, poor direction with compentent special f/x,weak script/dialogue. Many movies lately just can't seem to get the language of a time period right without adding ridiculous modern dialogue clichés, slangs and what not. I kept waiting for one of them to pull out a cellphone because most the performances were phoned in, for me the beginning was the worse stupid twinkling lights in the background of scenes of them on the ship while long shots with harpies flying over head were of a cloudy twilight sky, so where did the twinkling stars come from....this is just pointing out one of many flaws and of course this ship was filmed in a studio with no water at all, I'm sure of it. If you're a fan of sword and sandal sci-fi adventure with sorcery and magic it only barely acts as an apetizer, a lightly flavored one at that, leaving you wanting terribly that you had The Odyssey starring Armande Assante in your DVD collection because watching all the hours of a rerun would be more satisfying than watching 90 minutes once you remove commercials of this drivel. I had tivo'd and fortunately was able to fastforward some simply painful dialogue moments in order to watch the special f/x. One thing to keep in mind few things shown as Sci-Fi Channel orginals they are really just productions from foreign markets like Canada, BBC, Germany or worse some reckless direct to video producer. Voslo does what he can but with this material its a wasted effort.
