Review of Immortal

Immortal (2004)
7/10
When The Gods Return it Makes for an Odd Mix of Real and Unreal
14 October 2004
Having no idea what the basis for this film was I was drawn into seeing it by the strange visuals.As a visual treat this film is great, however as a dramatic work this film is a bit of a mess with sequences that go on too long and a good many bits that aren't explained or not explained enough.

Basically in a New York of 2095 a strange pyramid appears and the god Horus has 7 days to complete a mission before he "dies". There are aliens, people in cryo-sleep, evil scientists and other strange characters. I won't go deeper into the plot since its not the clearest part of the film.

The visuals are great, with one damning flaw, most of the cast is computer generated and for the most part look like they come from a video game. Its terrible, especially when you have real people on screen with them. It drops the film a point or two on many levels.

If you get the chance, do see it. Its a visual treat, but I'd wait for DVD.
