Why the scores diverge

The Odyssey highlight: The film prominently features Odysseus's reflective moralizing and thematic messaging through dialogue, especially in its opening scenes, which suggests a message-first approach to storytelling.
Angels & Demons highlight: Dialogue occasionally leans into exposition-heavy explanations that serve the plot but sometimes border on message-first, especially regarding secret societies and religious themes.
Angels & Demons: Characters are generally plot-driven with minimal tokenism; diversity is present but not emphasized or forced into the narrative.
The Odyssey: Significant rearrangement and re-centering of the Trojan Horse and the destruction of Troy sequence shifts the narrative focus toward Odysseus's guilt, marking a clear legacy rewriting from Homer’s original epic.
