The Odyssey received an enthusiastic reception at its world premiere in London, where cast members praised Christopher Nolan’s vision and the scale of the production. Actor John Leguizamo went as far as calling it the director’s greatest film, offering one of the strongest endorsements ahead of the movie’s global release.
