Immortals by Tarsem Singh, 2011


with Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, Stephen Dorff, Freida Pinto, Luke Evans, John Hurt, Joseph Morgan, Anne Day-Jones, Isabel Lucas, Kellan Lutz, Robert Maillet, Stephen McHattie

In Ancient Greece, King Hyperion searches for a powerful weapon that will free the bloodthirsty Titans and enable them to overpower the gods and enslave mankind. Unable to interfere directly, the gods choose a champion to defend them: Theseus.

Hey, do you know the myth of Theseus? Well, doesn't matter, because we just reinvented it. And it just looks like "300", remember that movie that came out around 2007, with special effects that were inspired by another movie that came out in 2004, "Sin City", that was inspired by Marvel comic books... Well, I believed I said it all. It is an action movie, with special effects and filters to look cool, no relevant dialogues and a superhero that has nothing really relevant about him. Things are over-explained, scenes are expected, legendary combats are put in a sandwich between a ridiculous romantic scene and a big bad guy wanting revenge with a "grump" that says it all. I believe the next chapter just came out, in Imax 3D. I am guessing that is the only way to watch it and actually enjoy something, technology.
