Was your theater inside of a giant wooden horse by any chance?
If you can't get a seat, just Troy and Troy again
That made me do a horse laugh
I was in the opposite theater as this one and, let me tell you, I've never had an easier time being in a phalanx. Absolute push-over roster, their collums aren't even symmetrical.
I asked one of them and they told me there were only a few Greeks and at least two thousand Persians in the theater.
so how is the movie? Is it woke?
it was filmed in the occupied western sahara so probably not very woke, and more trans drone pilots woke at most.

"our age of bronze... is le collapsing"
*radioactive by imagine dragons starts playing*
its only woke in so far as it has brown people and a trans man in it. it doesn't have enough to say for it to conciously be woke or not
Odysseyus is like bronze age oppenheimer
Unironically the movie tries to end with an Oppenheimer "what have I done, I've unleashed war upon the whole world" monologue. But it's not good lol
Haven't seen it yet. The theaters near me have been slammed. Might wait for a midweek matinee.
You have to ask whether a not whether a movie based on an ancient Greek poem that burns out all the ancient Greek historical/mythological context so you're just left with a story about a warrior killing people in the east and returning home and killing everyone who "sullied his house" and then crying about it, all released in 2026 right wing hellworld and catering to those "people", is woke or not? Not to mention them chucking plastic skeleton props into environmentally protected areas of an Italian sea and leaving them to decompose and poison the environment?
What do YOU think the answer is going to be?
So it's woke. I knew it
In the trojan horse and third act odysseus acts like a Special Forces operator or something idk
He also met giants just like how the marines found giants in kandahar
Going and seeing the big flick with my group of greek reenactors
trying to get tickets for the 70mm closest to me and it sucks having a job where i cant just go see this on a weeknight.
