The ancient world's most spectacular epic unfolds on-screen as a star-studded, special-effects-filled adventure of breathtaking beauty and power in this lavishly produced adaptation of Homer's "The Odyssey." An extraordinary international cast sweeps you into the heroic age of the mighty warrior-king Odysseus (Armand Assante) as his victorious return from the Trojan War becomes a decade-long quest to reach his homeland and his faithful wife, Penelope (Greta Sacchi). Aided by the goddess Athena (Isabella Rossellini), Odysseus braves all the terrors and temptations of a mysterious, far-flung world, matching wits and wiles with a fantastic array of being both mortal and monstrous. It's the voyage of a lifetime, and a journey you and your family will never forget, in this glorious retelling of one of the greatest adventure tales of all time. (texte officiel du distributeur)

The ravages of time are quite visible on Homer’s Odysey. When I was younger, I found the adventures of Ulysses more thrilling than I do now with the passage of time. At first glance, you can see that this is a TV movie, which may not be a bad thing – e.g. Merlin – but in this case I found most of the acting too stiff and technically it was not a great film either. Of the characters, I was definitely most impressed with Athena, played by Isabella Rossellini, and the most interesting part was Ulysses' return, but you have to wade through two and a half hours of plot to get to it.
