Reaction: We at the studio felt this film was a pretty risky bet, to be honest, so we're very glad that this film proved to be a hit. It also means that the studio will be able to definitely move forward quickly with Part Two, which will quickly go into production for release next season.

"Originality is not this project's strong point, but it does have solid performances from its leads (Fassbender and Chastain). Director Ridley Scott has never been one to shy away from a grand scale epic film, and that confidence shows here with his steady hand." - Richard Park, Globe and Mail

"While certainly ambitious in terms of scale, this Odyssey adaptation doesn't offer much we haven't seen before in the multitude of other adaptations of this piece. I was hoping Ridley Scott's take would bring something unique to the proceedings, but it ended up just being a glossier, big-budget version of the same old story." - Sam Morris, Oregonian

“Most definitely a Part 1, but it is filled with a lot of story. An epic in all proportions, I commend Andrew Doster & Ridley Scott for what they did here. The visuals are amazing. Fassbender is fantastic as Odysseus. The film is exposition-heavy, I hope that the second part if we get it, has less exposition and more story-driven scenes.” - J. Darrell Ellington, Behind the Camera

Rated PG-13 for violence, sexual content and thematic elements
