It's an eagerly awaited Christopher Nolan film which stars Damon as Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, as he journeys home following the Trojan War.
Other big names in the film include Tom Holland, Zendaya, Charlize Theron and Robert Pattinson.
The Hollywood superstar has been spotted out and about at local shops and heading to the gym.
On Thursday night, the actor joined cast members for a meal at The Seafield Arms in Cullen.
And he told staff that it was the best dining experience they'd had during their travels around the globe, The Press and Journal reports.
Managing Director Charles Milne said in a post on social media: "It was Thursday evening, and as I walked through the dining room of The Beverly Hills Hotel, I recognised a famous face at every table.
"One A-lister leaned in and said: 'The food here is the best we've had on our journey around the world - and the young staff are remarkable. We wish we could stay longer.'
"Then I blinked... and realised I was still in Cullen.
"The compliments weren't for Beverly Hills - they were for the outstanding staff, chefs and managers of The Seafield Arms Hotel."
He then thanked director Christopher Nolan for bringing his crew to Banffshire.

The Seafield Arms is described as a "hidden gem" in the heart of the village of Cullen.
It offers guests a "luxurious and relaxing experience" during stays and dining.
Last week, locals in a tiny Scots town were stunned when Matt Damon turned up at their local Motion Fitness gym.
Regulars did a double take as the Hollywood superstar wandered in sporting a beard.
Within seconds he was mobbed in the fishing port - with everyone wanted a snap taken with the acting legend.
And many were shocked to discover he was holding a Buckie Thistle shirt as well.
