Leaked The Odyssey footage shows Power Rangers moves and AI faces

The Odyssey nobody wanted to see: leaks, AI and 90s choreography

What happens when a studio tries to shoot a mythological epic and the result looks like a TikTok video generated by artificial intelligence? The first scenes from the new adaptation of The Odyssey have leaked, and social media is ablaze with criticism ranging from the comical to the devastating.

The controversy centers on two fronts: on one hand, the quality of the animation and effects, which many viewers consider AI-generated due to anatomical flaws — such as deformed hands on a female character; on the other, a staging they call clumsy, with movements reminiscent of the 90s Power Rangers. One user sarcastically asked whether the actors move like that or if it's the script's fault.

The AI signature: hands that don't lie

Several commenters have pointed out that the image of the blonde, supposedly a goddess or demigoddess, shows anomalies in her left hand typical of today's image generators. The suspicion is that the studio may have turned to generative AI to cut costs, sacrificing visual coherence. "It's AI," two observers repeat independently, corroborating the impression that the leaked footage is not the work of human artists.

Some guy named Elliot: the hero cliché]

The most criticized scene involves a character named Elliot, whom several opponents surround without finishing him off. Critics call it "a shit filler scene": the typical moment when the script forces an absurd escape to keep the protagonist alive. The comparison with Power Rangers underscores how outdated the choreography is, far removed from expectations for a supposed 2026 blockbuster.

A look at the reaction

While one viewer swears he won't see the movie "no ing way," another is incredulous: "Are you sure?". Laughter mixes with disappointment. Even those who argue that "you can't see anything" — the leaked video's quality is terrible — admit the final product looks bad.

The million-dollar question is whether these leaks are a preview of an announced catastrophe or simply a sign that the sword-and-sandal epic is dead, devoured by AI. What is clear is that, if these images are real, the odyssey of getting home may be easier than sitting down to watch the movie.
