Fountain 0’s AI-generated feature Odysseus: The Fall criticized for pervasive technical and narrative flaws
Fountain 0 cofounder Ash Koosha wrote, directed, starred in, and scored Odysseus: The Fall, which the studio bills as a fully AI-generated blockbuster-level film. A recent review says the 2.5-hour movie—available to rent for $9.99, reportedly via web browser—suffers from widespread AI-induced inconsistencies (mismatched mouths, changing props, bad physics), poor acting, and disjointed storytelling, undermining the company's "first completely AI generated film" claim.
