I’m so annoyed at the intense lightning flashes in the Odyssey when the ship sails through the storms that Poseidon created. This is a forewarning to anyone with photosensitive epilepsy who may be interested in seeing the film.

Vent

This is just a vent, because I feel that strobe effects are everywhere and severely limit what I can enjoy because it could prompt a seizure.

I get that the storm is part of the story, but I just wish they could have handled the lightning differently. I had to close my eyes for what felt like minutes because the flashing was so intense.

I saw the film recently, and I know it’s been out for a while, so I’m sure some of you have already realized. I hadn’t watched any of the trailers so I’m not sure if the storm scene is present in any of those!
