TROY : THE ODYSSEY

Cinemavixion Review

Tekin Girgin's "Troy: The Odyssey" (2017) embarks on a perilous post-Trojan War journey for the legendary hero Odysseus. With Dylan Vox, Lara Heller, and Hachem Hicham in key roles, the film plunges into a re-imagining of Odysseus's arduous voyage home. The narrative, as detailed by external sources, picks up in 1174 B.C., following the decade-long conflict. Odysseus's path home is fraught with supernatural challenges, including encounters with sea sirens and other mythical creatures, all while his wife Penelope is besieged by suitors. While the film may not have garnered significant critical acclaim, its IMDb rating of 2.6 suggests a polarizing reception. Nevertheless, it offers an alternative take on classic mythology for fans of adventure and fantasy, delving into the trials faced by a hero long after the main battle has concluded.
