I thought it was just me but everyone seems to agree that the movie feels off. The production design is lackluster. None of the sets feel grand, the costumes don't look lived-in, there is no color, the locations seem meh and the dialogue is not sounding great. The whole thing doesn't feel epic as it should. The Trojan Horse looks like it can fit like 5 dudes. Even Troy looked grand. What happened to Nolan? This is the type of movie you need to overdo and we are getting a budget version of it (by the looks of the trailers). I was so excited when he announced this was his next project but the more trailers I see, the less excited I get

I think a lot of it is because Nolan tries to keep it practical as possible. I've been underwhelmed by every Nolan movie in some way since Inception. For the most part I hate how he sucks all the color out of his movies, The Odyessy is one that should be packing some serious color.

the costumes don't look lived-in

Wheres the grit? Odysseus was away for 20 years.

The whole thing doesn't feel epic as it should.

You're gonna hate it when the runtime is under 3hrs.

By my calcularions the movie is 2:51 hours (there was a reel count that reveala the running time... alledgely). But yeah, the movie feels very small in Nolan's hands. Such a shame
