Directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway and Zendaya, The Odyssey is Nolan's sprawling adaptation of Homer's ancient epic poem, following King Odysseus on his ten year journey home after the fall of Troy. Shot entirely on IMAX cameras across five countries, this is a film carrying enormous expectation, and it has to be seen on the biggest screen possible.

In this review, Fraser shares why Tom Holland's performance completely surprised him, why the practically shot cyclops cave sequence left him feeling the sound in his chest, and why the film's cinematography immediately reminded him of Lawrence of Arabia.
