The Odyssey is Impressive
Considering that this is a TV Mini-Series I am impressed with the overall quality of this movie. The actors are terrific, especially Armand Assante as Odysseus and Greta Scacchi as his wife Penelope. The direction is swift and competent and the special effects are just that, special. I have been teaching The Odyssey for more than 10 years now and I'm glad that someone finally made a film of the story that can show the more visual aspects and intimate scene within this great tale. The old film with Kirk Douglass was awful. I enjoyed this film and so do my students when I have time to show (it is very long).
