Christopher Nolan made a film called "The Odyssey".

It stays true to Homer's old poem.

But it also feels like a Nolan movie.

The story is about Odysseus.

Matt Damon plays him.

Odysseus feels bad about the violence he did at Troy.

He tries to go home to Ithaca.

This takes him ten years.

The film starts in Ithaca.

Men want to marry Odysseus' wife Penelope.

Anne Hathaway plays her.

Robert Pattinson plays the main man who wants her.

Tom Holland plays Telemachus.

He is the son who looks for his father.

The movie shows Odysseus' trip.

He meets the Cyclops, the witch Circe, and the sea nymph Calypso.

Nolan keeps the gods off-screen most of the time.

But Zendaya's Athena is there.

The film has many different actors.

Lupita Nyong'o plays Helen of Troy.

The director said the story is for all people.

The movie is almost three hours long.

But it moves at a steady speed.

The film looks at how men and women act.

It also keeps old ideas about men.

It changes the poem's end to a more active fight.

The critic said Odysseus' wish to fix his mistakes feels alive again.

The movie got three and a half stars out of four.
