    apparently Nolan's solution for how to visually depict a "wine-dark sea" is to just make everything in the entire world a shade of gray

    Damn, that's a disappointingly low quality trailer for an IMAX epic. Universal Marketing shit the bed with this one.

    It's still crazy to me how video game trailers have almost all been 4k for the past decade, but movie trailers are still mostly stuck at 1080p

    Especially considering how much YouTube limits the bit rate of 1080p videos

    More of a teaser trailer than anything, but it looks pretty sweet. Gives me "300" vibes.

    Youtube recommended a trailer for "The Grey Man" after watching.

    Youtube's got jokes.

    Looks cool I wish it were more historically accurate though.

    There are movies to be made where it makes sense to strive for historical accuracy, bit I'm not sure the Odyssey is one of them. It was always a spectacular tale.

    Yeah the Odyssey book itself is wildly not historical, so making the movie historically accurate would actually be doing wrong to the source material

    There are material historical conditions embedded in myths, no? Some of which directly affect the progression and outcome of the myth?

    All I'm saying is if theyre going to keep the setting ancient greece, itd be nice if the production had some more accuracy than just vibes. It's a nitpick, sure, but it's not unreasonable considering the director literally modelled a black hole for Interstellar.

    I get its not historical, but its also not like it is set in a made-up fantasy world. It's still ancient Greece, the Aegean Sea, etc. A little more authenticity would go a long way to alleviate the immersion-shaking sight of Hollywood superstars in cool stylized costumes. Just me though.

    Agreed, while it may be a story about all kinds of mythological creatures, Odysseus and his men are still regular human beings. That's part of what makes this kind of stories work: the experience of normal people in an abnormal world.

    Oof.

    This could be a real disappointment. Even with my lowered expectations.
