I have virtually zero knowledge of The Odyssey as a Greek mythology, save for a few recognisable names like the Helen of Troy, the Trojan War etc. I do want to enjoy the movie to its fullest, and if learning about the plot material is essential to it, then so be it. Is there a good resource giving a summarized version of the plot enough to understand the film? If so, I would really appreciate it if you shared it here.

I definitely appreciated that it was a movie versus a streaming series, or even a movie series. For all that was left out, what remains is very cohesive, engaging, and entertaining.

This director is also really second-to-none in IMAX, and it absolutely shows on screen.
