Movie Reviews of Immortal
Movie Review: Bilal's art brought to the big screen
Summary: 4 Stars
I grew up on the "comic book" (now "graphic novellas"?) magazines Heavy Metal/Metal Hurlant, so I know Bilal's work quite well. He is definitely one of the best artists in the genre, though his story lines are somewhat convoluted and extremely multi-layered. It takes a bit of concentration to get the whole story, but the artwork is so fantastic, it's worth the effort. EXACTLY like this movie - which is essentially a Bilal story come-to-life (and CGI). It is quite a feat, especially, as others noted, with a fraction of the funds available for similar Hollywood fare. This is very well done, probably the best comic book-to-screen transfer I have yet seen in terms of remaining true to its source.Movie Review: candy for eye and mind
Summary: 4 Stars
Visually stunning, this is a melding of cgi and live actors that works. The sets are very realistic and fascinating and the movie is a delight to watch on par with Bladerunner or Dark City. The script, however, is it weakest point, having a few holes in the story line that make it confusing to follow at times. Those with a knowledge of the Director fare better than those of us getting our first taste. This is also definitely a movie that benefits from watching more than once. The second time I viewed, I knew I had to pay a lot closer attention to some background details to help me understand what was happening, and I enjoyed the second viewing a lot more. Worth adding to any collection.Movie Review: Pretty good film
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie has its share of flaws but it is definitely a movie worth watching if your a sci-fi fan. I like how they integrated computer graphics for some of the movie's characters and scenes. This movie actually almost felt like Fifth Element without the colorful cast of characters and interesting plot. Not to say that this movie doesnt have some interesting characters because it does. I just think this movie could've been better executed and it couldve had a 5 star rating instead. I've never read the books that supposedly go along with this movie so I have nothing to compare it to but nonetheless it was an interesting movie.Movie Review: A Breath of Fresh Air...
Summary: 4 Stars
When I sat down to watch the "Immortal" screener that I had gotten at my video-store job, I thought, "Looks sweet." It pulled me in right away. The world that I was watching reminded me of "Tron"-meets-"5th Element"-meets-"Ghost in the Shell" with a little bit of "Stargate" thrown in for balance. Then I was knocked out of the film by some old-school (I mean like 1998 PC graphics!) animation for some of the characters. But slowly I began to sucked back in because the whole damn flick was so...cool. Original does not even begin to cover it.

Movie Review: Dark visions of the future
Summary: 4 Stars
A strange cross between animation and film with very a black and white
comic book feel to it. The God Horus of Egypt as a semi-Immortal alien
leaves a "hero" behind in the Greek classical tradition. The blue hair
child-woman and the freeze dried Russian revolutionist are caught
in a plot that exploits them. Strange aliens and monsters
of several sorts roam about in this movie, but their is little Quetin Tarantino gore here. The result is well done sci fi movie.
