Move over, Ridley Scott: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is the latest film criticized for poor historical accuracy following first look

Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

Universal Pictures unveiled the first look at Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey earlier this week – and with the movie having only started filming in January, none of us expected to get a glimpse of it so soon. With that, the internet went wild for the early image, though now it appears not everyone was thrilled with what they saw...

Based on Homer's epic poem of the same name, The Odyssey will follow Damon's Odysseus as he sets off on a 10-year journey from Troy, in the hope of reuniting with his wife Penelope and their son Telemachus. Along the way, though, he encounters all sorts of otherworldly threats including a cyclops and a sea monster.
