Meaningless as a laptop screensaver: reviewers slate Musk's AI-made Odyssey film

Elon Musk released a seven-minute AI-generated first episode of an Odyssey adaptation made with Grok Imagine and London startup Wonder Studios, after criticising Christopher Nolan's film and promising a version "true to the art of Homer". Guardian critic Peter Bradshaw gave it one star, calling its dramatic moments "as motiveless and meaningless as the movement of shapes on a laptop screensaver", and a Telegraph reviewer described its "sloppy gruesomeness". Wonder co-founder Xavier Collins said the episode was made in under two weeks by a team of three for tens of thousands of dollars, and that the team would address criticism in the second episode.
