Film fans have been flocking to cinemas across the UK on Friday to be among the first to take in Sir Christopher Nolan’s latest film The Odyssey, with one viewer describing it as “unlike anything I expected”.
The blockbuster is an adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic, with Matt Damon starring as Odysseus, the Greek king of Ithaca, as he makes his perilous 10-year journey home after the Trojan War.
