Immortals

Director: Tarsem Singh
Actors: Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, John Hurt
PlotIn ancient Greece, the brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion is on a relentless quest to find the Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power gifted by the gods, which can unleash the imprisoned Titans. Hyperion seeks to overthrow the Olympian gods and become the supreme ruler by unleashing these ancient beings. The gods are bound by a decree not to intervene in human affairs, thus leaving them to watch as Hyperion's forces ravage Greece. However, they subtly guide Theseus, a heroic and skilled mortal villager, on a path to stop Hyperion. Theseus is unaware of his destiny, but mourns his mother’s death at the hands of Hyperion's men, further fueling his desire for vengeance.
Theseus encounters Oracle Phaedra and a small group of followers who have evaded Hyperion's grasp. The Oracle, who has had visions of Theseus's pivotal role in the upcoming conflict, joins him. Despite her prophetic abilities, she cannot see the outcome of the coming war, only that Theseus is vital to its resolution. Together with a cunning thief and a loyal friend, Theseus fights to prevent Hyperion from obtaining the bow and destroying humanity. As the armies clash and the stakes rise, the gods watch anxiously, knowing the future of mankind hangs in the balance but grappling with the consequences of direct intervention.

Immortals
Blu-ray Review
Score: 60
Immortals dazzles with striking visuals and explosive sound, but falters with its muddled Greek mythology; a treat for A/V enthusiasts, but a rental for most.

Immortals: visually stunning but lacks substance; consider renting before buying.
