Movie lovers finally ushered in the first exposure of Christopher Nolan's new work "Odyssey".

This work, adapted from one of the most famous epics in the history of Western literature, will be released simultaneously with "Jurassic World: Rebirth".If you are lucky enough to take a look at this mysterious short film, you will find that it continues Nolan's usual style - the "emotional first" trailer full of hints and atmosphere, focusing on outlining the tone of the film rather than revealing the plot details.

Considering that the story of "Odyssey" itself has long been well known, spoilers are not the focus; and this implicit and imaginative trailer is particularly appropriate at this moment.It not only evokes the audience's expectations for the type and style of the film, but also cleverly sets the tone of the story the director wants to tell.

Lost and pursuit between father and son

The trailer focuses on Telemachus, the son of Odysseus - played by Tom Holland.He asked Jon Bernthal’s character at a banquet: “What the hell happened to my father?”

The other party just smiled contemptuously, as if saying: Everyone has a version about Odysseus in their hearts.Where did he go after the war?What have you encountered?Rumors are everywhere, it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false.

The final scene is unforgettable: Odysseus (played by Matt Damon) floats alone on a lonely boat, unconscious, and his life experience becomes a mystery.

Epic tension in tranquility and vastness

The entire trailer is mainly composed of dialogues by the dim bonfire, interspersed with empty shots of the vast ocean, and occasionally flashes a few scenes that are suspected to be Trojan horses.Although the content is not rich, it is enough to arouse the audience's curiosity about this epic journey.

Just like Nolan's previous classic works, "Inception", "Dunkirk" and even "Creedy", their first trailer won by suspense, and this "Odyssey" trailer is actually more narrative than many early trailers, and emotional tension is about to come out.

From Oppenheimer to Odyssey: Nolan's epic heritage

Nolan, who just reached a peak in reputation with "Oppenheimer", is obviously trying to continue his control over the grand narrative.The story of "Odyssey" itself has unparalleled breadth and depth.

The trailer is not in a hurry to embark on Odysseus' fantasy adventure, but focuses on the heart of family tragedy - his absence, his disappearance, and his son's desire for his return.

We know the end of the story and we know that the journey will eventually end.But the emotional conflicts and human struggles contained in this process are the parts that Nolan is best at exploring.

The style remains the same, the controversy remains

Of course, Nolan's style has never been accepted by everyone.His iconic calm editing, compact narrative structure, and slightly weak female character shaping are still watershed in audience evaluation.

Although this time he went deep into the world of Greek mythology and tried to build a more fantasy screen wonder, judging from this trailer, he did not deviate from his familiar creative path.If you were moved by his previous work, then "Odyssey" may be the next stop you have been waiting for for a long time.

The Odyssey will be officially released in theaters around the world on July 17, 2026.
