Director Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is out in the theatre. Based on Homer's Greek epic, the movie will revolve around the journey of King Odysseus to his home after winning the Trojan War.
Watching Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey may be a little heavy on your wallet. After a long wait, the film has been released across the world. It features Hollywood heavyweights like Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Himesh Patel, Lupita Nyong’o, Samantha Morton, Jon Bernthal and others in prominent roles.
As the director has asked, the most preferred version is IMAX 70mm. But as we all know, this format does not exist in India, so audiences will have to settle for IMAX. However, watching the movie also comes with a huge price tag. With the first week of release here, let’s take a look at how costly the movie is.
The Odyssey: How costly is the movie?
Nolan’s movie has been released, and as you go to check the tickets, the prices are quite high, with ticket prices ranging as high as Rs 2,800 and even more for premium seats. However, the seats are also available at a price of 300 to 350, but this is for a normal screen. If you want to watch the movie on IMAX, then the minimum amount that you have to shell out will be starting from Rs 800.
While on Friday, several of the first day and second shows have been booked, but the tickets that were left have been sold at the price of Rs 1500, which is for the lounger. The cost of a recliner at Imax in Mumbai will cost you Rs 2800, and the executive Rs 1800. At Phoenix Palladium, the price of recliner rows is Rs 3100.

The Odyssey movie review
WION's film critic, Shomini Sen, called Nolan crafts a visual masterpiece that strips the glory from war.
‘’While the film is technically flawless, for me, The Odyssey wins for its brilliant messaging. Adapted for screen by Nolan, the film shows the flipside of war. Trojan War is a tale that we are all aware of. For centuries, the bravado of the men who fought the war has been talked about; it has been part of the folklore. But the film talks of the redemption of Odysseus, of a man whose valour and greatness were celebrated, but Nolan talks of how he felt guilty of violating what was sacred in Troy. A scene near the climax shows Odysseus talking of how he destroyed so much just to win a war, how he had repentance for the men who died along the way, for the destruction that was caused in Troy, for the fall of priestess Athena, who eventually became his guiding light back home. Those moments are so beautifully written than makes you emotional, poignant and question the current times where war and violence dominate headlines more than news of peace,'' Sen wrote.
