“Just left The Odyssey, they can go ahead and start setting them Oscars to the side.”

The film only dropped on Friday (17 July), but it's already on track to being one of the biggest cinema events of the year, with photos of fans lining cinema corridors going viral online.

So, if you're counting down the hours to your big weekend of cinema, here are the best reactions from fans who simply couldn't wait.

Christopher Nolan did it again dawg, The Odyssey is a clear 10/10 film, I don’t know where I would rank this over his films but I think it clears The Dark Knight and Inception

The third act of The Odyssey being like snorting 30 lines of narrative payoff cocaine

Just got out of #TheOdyssey. What a tale. What an amazing story. The cast, the scenery, the music.. the way Nolan keeps delivering those stories… bowing down to you, sir. What a chance we have to be alive as the same time as you. pic.twitter.com/5KxdfZcHC2

the first two thirds of The Odyssey had me kinda going “I mean this is really good but it’s just…pretty much The Odyssey!” and then the third act hit and I was levitating into the ceiling and ready to watch again ASAP

Just left The Odyssey they can  gone ahead and start setting them Oscars to the side.

Wondering if those who have spent months lambasting a film they haven’t seen will now, confronted by 5 star reviews for The Odyssey, reconsider their boycott, or whether they will dismiss the positive reviews as evidence of a woke conspiracy to overthrow Western civilisation? https://t.co/nQTKXySpKO
