Great DVD, but...
Added 3/3/2009
I can't believe that in this day and age a DVD would be released without closed captionaing available. I picked this up for a class, and I have a deaf student who needs captioning. This really was an inconvenience and I could not show it since they couldn't be botheres to put captioning on the DVD.

I highly recommend you wait for the Blu-ray version as the sellers here have an extremely ridiculous idea of inflating what was once a less than fifteen dollar DVD movie to the current price. This is a pretty decent Hallmark sword and sandal movie with Armand Assante. It follows the Homer tale without to much literary license. I have seen it several times on TV and I can easily rent it as well. That is the way it will stay until it comes out in Blu-ray probably this or next year. Are there people stupid enough to pay over one hundred and fifty dollars for this movie?

Fun to Watch
Added 1/23/2009
This movie was just so much fun to watch. It was originally made for TV, so when you watch it without commercials you're able to get the full effect of the story without interruptions. This is based on the story The Odyssey by Homer and it follows the story fairly well. Some of the adventures are left out, and some are unfortunate to be so, but the main part of the story of there so you don't feel they just did what they wanted with it.
The acting is very good for a TV movies, as are the special effects. They're not cheap looking which is something TV movies have a problem with sometimes. The costumes are good and the sets are too. You feel like you're with him traveling around the Mediterranean trying to find home.
The ending felt a little rushed to me though. I felt they could have spent a bit more time on that.
