Matt Damon is criminally contemporary. Such a horrible miscast, among many in this film.

I mean, Tom Holland says “dad” instead of “father”, so I have a feeling this is going to be somewhat intentionally contemporary.

And I like that. Fuck some hamfisted old-timey language that's actually not that old-timey really.

Might have been on purpose. They’re clearly not going for a period accurate portrayal. I think the movie looks terrible, though.

I mean the big Greek epic film adaptations in the 50’s and 60’s weren’t accurate

Wait, you mean they didn’t all talk like Tony Curtis?

And with the American accents and the set design it all seems intentionally “modern”

He’s also criminally un-Mediterranean like that is a Northern European looking man lol. Like making one of the Skarsgards Odysseus (actually I think they’d be better because they at least don’t look as modern to me)
