What to expect

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey adapts the ancient epic as a 173-minute fantasy adventure, shot entirely on IMAX film. Matt Damon plays Odysseus, making his way home from Troy through encounters with the Cyclops, Sirens and Calypso; Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson and Zendaya fill out the cast. The movie is rated Category IIB, so it is not suitable for young children. In Hong Kong it opens 15 July 2026, playing exclusively in IMAX across 21 cinemas in 15 districts, with over 270 screenings in the first week. Tickets start at HK$100, with Chinese subtitles.
