Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- The newly released film adaptation of The Odyssey has been praised as a strong rendition of the original Greek epic.
- However, viewers with light sensitivity or epilepsy are warned about a particularly intense scene featuring rapid lightning flashes that may cause discomfort or seizures.
- The problematic scene occurs midway through the film when Odysseus and his men land on an island and experience sudden bright, flashing lightning effects.
- Some audience members reported having to look away, experiencing headaches, and expressed surprise at the lack of an official warning before the movie.
- While a few theaters have started posting epilepsy warnings, many screenings, including one at Alamo Drafthouse, did not have any alerts, prompting calls for broader implementation of such notices.
