Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey Trailer Reaction: Matt Damon’s Long Road Home

The first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is here, and we break down what it’s setting up: Odysseus’ brutal trek back to Ithaca after the Trojan War, the core family stakes with Penelope and Telemachus, and the trailer’s biggest vibe, a battered king trying to survive long enough to get home. We also talk about how massive this movie looks, why the cast lineup feels unreal, and what the IMAX 70mm approach says about Nolan aiming for a true theatrical event ahead of its July 17, 2026 release.

00:00 Trailer reaction and the basic setup (Homer adaptation, Odysseus’ journey home)
00:15 The main trio and what their roles look like in the trailer (Odysseus, Telemachus, Penelope)
00:29 Trojan War aftermath shots, the Cyclops tease, and the trailer’s scale
00:44 The stacked supporting cast and Nolan going all-in on IMAX tech
01:02 Theatrical event vibes, ticket demand, and the July 17, 2026 release date
01:17 Listener thoughts and weekly sign-off

  • This looks like a survival story first, with Odysseus presented as a battered, postwar king fighting to make it back to Ithaca.

  • The emotional spine is family: Odysseus trying to reunite with Penelope, and Telemachus searching for his father.

  • The trailer hints at classic Odyssey challenges, including a Cyclops, while showing huge war aftermath imagery.

  • The cast is loaded top to bottom, well beyond the main three leads.

  • Nolan’s IMAX 70mm push and new tech upgrades are meant to make this a must-see-in-theater release.

  • Release date called out: July 17, 2026, with early screenings sounding like they’re already in high demand.

  • “Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey just dropped its first trailer. Let’s take a look.”

  • “It’s like battered king postwar, barely holding his life together, and all he wants to do is return to his wife.”

  • “The scale of this thing is insane.”

  • “This is supposed to be like a theatrical event.”
