Imagine somehow being able to tell Homer, as he set pen to paper to start work on _The Odyssey,_ that thousands of years into the future, his epic tale of Odysseus’ long, strange journey home from the Trojan War would become the latest battleground in another war—one that would manage to be even more stupid and pointless than the one from which his hero was politely excusing himself. Yes, people, Elon Musk’s Grok-powered _Odyssey_ has arrived, and it’s ready to strap on its bronze armor and charge forth in a heroic bid to save Western civilization from the dastardly forces of the Woke, the Feminists and the Historically Inaccurate Presence of People Who Look Suspiciously Black. Marvel at the bravery of this artistic vision! Thrill to its battlecry of “ουέλ άκτουλλι!” Cower as an entire website army full of weird nerds unleashes its righteous rage on Hollywood! > Watch Episode 1 of our Odyssey series made with Grok Imagine. > > Let us know in the comments if you'd like a full breakdown of how it was done! > > Creative collaboration with @WonderStudiosX and director Dev Walker @glumlot_ pic.twitter.com/xpgpkqSCpq > > — Grok Imagine (@imagine) October 23, 2026 …for seven minutes, anyway. While Musk promised an entire feature-length rival to Christopher Nolan’s version of _The Odyssey_ , what arrived over the weekend was no such thing—instead, it was billed as “Episode 1 of our _Odyssey_ series.” Turns out that making movies maybe isn’t quite as easy as typing “Make _The Odyssey_ but without anything that would upset people who are still mad about Gamergate,” even with the backing of the world’s richest man and his favorite toy. In fairness, the footage shows how far AI-powered video has come since the hilarity of its early days—which were only a couple of years ago, god help us—but it also shows that there’s a world of difference between making something that looks kinda cinematic and making something that is worth watching. Sure, the landscapes look realistic, even if the wide shots are a bit ropey, while the baby is only vaguely terrifying and everyone has the correct number of fingers. Great! But this is meant to be more than a tech demo; it’s meant to be proof that Grok is liberating filmmaking from the grasp of the libs. So is it a good film? Well, no. It’s not a good film in the slightest. If anything, it reads more like a trailer or the overlong intro to a video game, the kind you skip halfway through the first viewing and then install a mod so you don’t have to smash the space bar every time. There’s no coherent narrative; instead, it’s just a selection of portentous shots, all of which allude to a story rather than try to actually tell it. Odysseus hits a table because Odysseus is mad! The Greeks yell “vengeance!” because they want vengeance! Penelope calls Odysseus “my love” and tells him that he must go to war, even though it’s dumb and he doesn’t want to, because she’s a dutiful tradwife! The obligatory overconfident joker dude pukes off the side of a boat because he’s actually a big pansy! A shot of lil Telemachus learning to fight back home is juxtaposed against the Madness Of War™ IRL, because the intended audience is dumb as a rock! And so on and so forth. The only surprise is that the whole masturbatory enterprise doesn’t end with a Cybertruck thundering across the battlefield so that Elon can hang himself out the window and give a Nazi salute. Maybe the Cybertruck got stuck in the mud. Or maybe that’s scheduled for Part 2—assuming that there is in fact a Part 2, because god knows it’s hard to imagine that anyone would volunteer to sit through more of this. But then again, there are plenty of people who choose of their own free will to pay real actual money for blue checks on Twitter, so who knows. Anyway, as Wonder Studios, the people behind this silliness, boast in their tweet announcing its release: “Homer didn’t have Grok. We do.” Yeah. It shows.
