It was pretty good! I sat next to a high-school aged kid who seemingly knew nothing about the odyssey yet was arguably the hypest person in the theater going "lets-fucking-go LET'S GOO" whenever they blinded the poor cyclops and was angry as hell at Telemachus (he literally shouted 'DO SOMETHING' during the contest fight) & as a result my experience was heightened.

Definitely recommend seeing it on the biggest screen you can; I went to my local museum's imax which can do 1.43:1 and it was great. There are several scenes where I felt like I was on the damn ship.

No cyclops dong but I was blessed with one ass thanks to Circe my beloved.....

4.5/5 china-stars

In my experience it depends on the film & the crowd.

it surprised me when i went to go watch a movie in the bronx with the man i was dating at the time. he had dominican heritage, but identifed as black most of the time and i went with him and his family to the movie theater for the first time.

i don't remember the movie, i just remember everyone yelling at the screen and mostly in unison. lol

    che-smile See I love shit like that. Obsession and Backrooms at my local theater were riots because people WERE doing that. I love when an audience is completely like "aw fuck no I want to get off this ride", completely makes the movie ticket worth it. It's like whenever everyone starts screaming on a roller-coaster I think; same sort of feeling.
