Two numbers are true about “The Odyssey” right now, and they don’t agree with each other.

Number one: the reviews-that-aren’t-reviews-yet are raves. Number two: the trailer sitting on Universal’s own YouTube channel just crossed 600,000 dislikes. Same movie, same week, two completely different verdicts depending on where you look.

The praise is not subtle

The social reaction embargo lifted Monday, July 6, off the London world premiere, and critics who saw it went big. “Christopher Nolan’s #TheOdyssey is flawless filmmaking, every inch as epic as you’d expect,” with Matt Damon delivering what’s being called a career-best turn as Odysseus and Robert Pattinson praised as Antinous. Total Film’s Matt Maytum called it “intense and immense. An elemental epic and a feat of world building.” Variety’s Jazz Tangcay called it a work of art. The consistent read is a “staggering achievement” from a stacked, multicultural cast shot entirely on IMAX cameras, in an R-rated adaptation of Homer, marking Nolan’s first film since “Oppenheimer.”

Not everyone’s fully on board, and that’s worth flagging too. IndieWire’s David Ehrlich called it “too clunky to be S-tier Nolan, but the last act rewards the journey,” the one clearly mixed-to-positive voice in an otherwise gushing pile. Full reviews don’t drop until the embargo lifts July 15 — two days before the movie actually opens.

The trailer tells a different story

While all that was happening, the countdown trailer was getting torched. When trackers first reported the ratio, it stood at 55,000 dislikes. Two days later it was 350,000, and the rating-bombing excuses had already begun. By premiere week it was pushing 510,000, on a trailer already ranking as Nolan’s most disliked ever, not close. And it hasn’t stopped: dislikes have now blown past 600,000, climbing a day after the premiere. That’s reportedly the most disliked major Hollywood trailer since Disney’s live-action “Snow White,” for a director whose trailers have historically been beloved across fifteen years of tentpoles.

The casting is the flashpoint. Zendaya plays the goddess Athena, Lupita Nyong’o plays both Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra, and Elliot Page’s long-mystery role was reportedly revealed as Sinon after months of Achilles speculation. The casting has drawn criticism from multiple directions, including Greeks calling out the production over representation, with debate over the heritage of Nolan’s entire cast becoming a running story of its own. It’s gone past social media, too — Le Monde has published a report from its Athens correspondent on the controversy in Greece itself. And it’s not just online strangers weighing in: Elon Musk piled on, calling Nolan “a worm,” which somehow became part of the news cycle around a Best Picture frontrunner.

The Supergirl playbook, again

Here’s the part that should sound familiar. Industry tracking has already got its excuse locked and loaded for if the movie underperforms: it wasn’t the casting, it was coordinated rating-bombing. Fans have seen this exact move before. When Supergirl underperformed, the industry line was that women stayed home and fans were to blame, not the movie or the choices behind it. Same script, different franchise.

The counter-argument is that none of it matters at the box office. The first-look trailer pulled a massive 121.4 million views in its first 24 hours, and advance ticket sales reportedly shattered records at London’s BFI IMAX, with over 750,000 tickets sold in the first day. IMAX cinephiles locked in their seats a year ago regardless of what’s happening in the comment section.

So which number actually predicts what happens on July 17 — the rave reactions from people who were paid to fly to London, or the half-million-plus dislikes from people who weren’t? Drop your prediction below.
