For the Odyssey? Yes, it's a great and entertaining film. It's not really historically acurate or anything, but it is fun and the actors do a great job. Depending what type of movie enjoyer you are, you might wanna watch it in the theatres. Personally, for action movies I emjoy the cinema the most, for slower movies I enjoy them at home the best.
Man, the whole "historically accurate" aspect is where everyone should suspend disbelief. Giant cyclop's, sirens, and God's aren't real either... and that was the most badass looking representation of King Agamemnon I've seen. That includes Brian Cox!
But it is not accurate to the source material either
No, not awfully accurate to the source material. BUT it's not actually history, so... that part stands for me. Artistic license is okay in my book.
In my opinion accuracy is not as important as authenticity and that isn't really given in the Odyssey. All the costumes I have seen until now of it look like bad generic fantasy cosplays and the mythological beings without any god showing onscreen is also a weird decision. The gods are important figures in the epos.
Spoiler: there is a God showing on-screen
