Grok Imagine’s AI Odyssey Episode 1 arrived at 7 minutes 12 seconds in 4K — far from July’s promised full-length, historically accurate film — and it covers the Greeks arriving at Troy, a story that isn’t in the Odyssey at all.
Hook — Elon promised a full AI movie by Christmas. What arrived is 7 minutes.
Context — Episode 1 posted on X on Friday, October 23, made with Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker, and Musk reposted it. Back in July, the promise was a full-length film by the end of 2026.
Stakes — No episode count announced, no date for the next one, and outlets noted the usual AI tells: teeth, water-like hair, smudged skin.
Payoff — Homer’s poem opens ten years after the war ended, so the AI didn’t just shorten the movie. It started the wrong story.
