Product: The Odyssey [VHS] (1997)
Rating: 5.0
A Enjoyable fantasy film
This is a good production. It requires an uncynical viewing as Greek myths in general require a bit of imagination but if that's what you are looking for, then you will enjoy this. There are quite a few different events in the story, so it is quite long but that is good as the adventure keeps on going. I liked the fact how the gods appear every now and then to the mortals they are playing their wee games with. If you are looking for the type of fantasy that you might have enjoyed as a kid, then you will find this very entertaining. I also like that although i have not read the odyssey. i feel the story given in this film is probably reasonably faithfull to the adventures told in that famous book.This production required a big budget and while not up to top shelf blockbuster standards of today, it does a very nice job of telling a very epic adventure.
