Immortals

"Immortals" (also called "funny headwear collection catalogue 2011") is a mythic fantasy action film, released on 11.11.11. I just watched it in 3D and I have to admit it's not bad. It's advertised as being produced by the producers of 300, which sounds silly but the similarities are oh-so-visible. In a good way. The sets are heavily stylized (the whole visual style looks more like it belongs to a stage, rather than a screen), the action is amazingly brutal and relies heavily on temporal remapping. You know... slow motion.
The story is loosely based on Greek myths and no, not the lesser known ones about debts and lazyness. A hero finds himself through a journey and kicks Mickey Rourke's ass in the process. There's also a mythical bow, a virgin oracle and way too much talk about having sons. I suggest to watch it for the action, 3D is nice but not mandatory.

  1. Käisin ka kinos vaatamas. Stoori oli mu arust igav-as-hell, aga visuaalid/võitlusstseenid olid küll kuld. Eriti need titaanidega slomo-uhamised.
