Grok's 'Odyssey' becomes seven-minute clip, not full film

Elon Musk's original declaration set expectations for a full-length, historically accurate movie version of 'The Odyssey.' The release of only a seven-minute clip, framed as 'Episode 1,' marks a significant scale-back from that promise. The production involved Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker, suggesting a collaborative effort rather than a purely in-house Grok output. The reviewer's assessment contrasts sharply with the technical polish of some shots, noting that while individual moments might mimic reality, the whole lacks the artistry and momentum of traditional filmmaking.
