The Odyssey
movie·NR·Jul 3, 2026·
This faithful adaptation sticks to Homer's classic tale with zero added social commentary or identity politics, delivering safe neutral entertainment at a 1/10 woke score.
This is The Asylum's low-budget direct-to-VOD B-movie adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic, released in 2026 with a generic AI-assisted poster and cast including Myrom Kingery as Odysseus, Morgan Flanagan as Penelope, Patrick Byrnes as Telemachus, and Llana Barron as Athena.
The plot follows the traditional story of Odysseus's perilous return from the Trojan War, facing monsters and gods, with no alterations to the source premise or addition of modern social commentary. Searches for DEI, controversy, or political messaging on this specific film yield zero relevant results, unlike the unrelated Christopher Nolan version; reception focuses instead on its cheap production values and AI footage rather than ideology. Casting appears incidental to the low-stakes fantasy adventure format without any evidence of race- or gender-swapping established characters or foregrounding identity politics.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
