Grok releases the first seven minutes of its AI-generated ‘Odyssey’
Grok has released the first seven minutes of its AI-generated Odyssey, an adaptation that Musk promised would be historically accurate.Summary
Three months after Elon Musk announced that Grok would produce a full-length, historically accurate film version of The Odyssey, the company has released only seven minutes, calling it "Episode 1 of our Odyssey series." Musk had criticized Christopher Nolan's adaptation for casting nonwhite and transgender actors, positioning himself against Nolan, who describes himself as a techno-skeptic. Nolan's Odyssey was a practical filmmaking feat shot across six countries that became a major box office success, while the Grok version, made with Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker, lacks artistry and human interest according to the reviewer. The Grok footage features Musk-approved skin tones and a familiar British narrator, but drags with endless backstory and stilted dialogue, offering no momentum or reason to care about the characters, making even seven minutes feel tedious compared to Nolan's nearly three-hour film.
