CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Platypuschow This French made but English language sci-fi feature is certainly one of the most unusual films I've seen in recent months and that is really saying something.For a start the story regards a futuristic world full of folks genetically modified while above them sits a floating pyramid full of Egyptian gods......for some reason!? It tells the story of a girl wanting to be human, not knowing exactly what she is but being targeted from all sides each person with their own agenda including a frisky Egyptian god.The movie in many respects looks and reminded me of the television series Farscape (1999) but one thing sets it apart and it's one of the most damaging parts of the film.Live action is merged with animation and by that I don't merely mean the sfx I mean half the characters are animated and animated poorly. The animation is that cheap horrible style you often see in kids cartoons and side by side with live action actors looked ridiculous! The premise of Immortal is solid and the cast were better than I expected but Roger Rabbit did a better job of merging live action and cartoon and that was back in the 1980's! Plus that actually explained why it was full of cartoons, this just looked terrible.If you can get past this (Which I couldn't) you can do worse, but for me personally it made the film look shoddy.The Good: The concept The cast The Bad: Poor animation Holes in plotThings I learnt from this movie: Someone actually thought merging live action and poor cgi animation was a good idea Egyptian Gods are allergic to clothes In the future all women will glue their hair to their heads

ovintai This movie makes no sense at any point, and very little is ever explained. People are rating it high "just to counterbalance" the low ratings it received from other people, and so I must add my opinion that this movie was a waste of time. I am confused, slightly disgusted by the dialogue, unimpressed with the effects, and left completely disappointed by the lack of a storyline. The mix of effects I could follow (CGI + real people), and the basis of the future civilization was easy enough to pick up, but the story never went anywhere, and it was entirely fruitless throughout. Please do not waste your time as well.

kaarel-vaus I did not know anything about this movie. I just bought discounted low price DVD of this movie from Stockholm and I was really positively surprised and I enjoyed every moment watching it. The story and also visual side of the movie impressed me. I am huge fan of Sci-Fi movies and Immortal will definitely belong into my personal top 10. This movie of course does not have so good technical effects like for example Avatar and etc, but the story is much better and will leave many questions open which gives chance for audience to use their own imagination. I think Immortal is masterpiece which has been unfortunately underestimated and I urge everybody who is still hesitating - watch this movie, you will not regret.

Sven Andersson I recently came across this film by accident. When I was a kid I was completely entranced by the graphic novels by Enki Bilal, so I was exited by the prospect of a movie based on the Nikopol Trilogy. I didn't get far into "Immortal" before I started to get really disappointed and disillusioned. The film tries to mix CGI that would be somewhat acceptable in a computer game with live acting-- its not the admittedly poor blend that is the main problem, but the artistic quality of most of the CGI and the often shoddy voice acting. It reminds me of the Star Wars prequels, which I didn't fancy at all... But "immortal" is far worse. You can't redeem this movie by saying that it is deep, not for children, and so on. In this film, you don't get the story because its poorly told. To be frank, the execution of the script, and perhaps the script itself are a disaster. There's a difference between a botch and something that is inexplicable in an artistic way like "Mulholland Drive" by David Lynch. As a film-maker, Enki Bilal just doesn't have his act together. Watching "Immortal" is a twofold torture, because Bilal is desecrating his own work while at the same time making an extremely poor movie that is mostly boring and sometimes even excruciating to watch. The scenes when the main character of the film is first possessed by Horus are very good, but this somehow makes "Immortal" even worse, because it reminds you of the fact that this film could have been something great. For me, this film was one of those rare ones that actually made me feel a tiny bit worse about life and art in general.
