WHAT ITS ABOUT:
Immortals is about greek mythological legends. Immortal here has many meanings. One of the meanings is being immortal in legends by sacrificing yourself for the greater good. The other meaning is the Gods shown in the movie who are Immortal. So Theseus(Henry Cavill) is a mere mortal who works as a labourer and is the son of a raped woman so he has no father. Zeus(Luke Evans) comes to advise Theseus often in disguise of an old man.
Freida Pinto plays the virgin Phaedra who has the ability to see the future.
The movie is about the long forgotten battle between the Gods and Titans. Mickey Rourke plays the evil king Hyperion who wants to awaken the Titans.
WHATS GOOD:
Mickey Rourke does a good job as always and looks pretty scary and "hateable". The movie is in 3d and some of the effects are mind-blowing. The last battle between the Gods and Titans is Great. It has some great 3d effects and action sequences.
It also gives a nice moral that God does not help you do everything. There are some things you have to do yourself. Frieda Pinto looks pretty good and does a good job in her short role. I guess the innocence in her face was perfect for the virgin role. Thats about it.
WHATS BAD:-
The movie just does not pick up until the end. Sometimes it just feels downright boring. Some of the scenes are pretty violent and there is also an explicit love-making scene. So its definitely not a family film. For me the only thing exciting was the battle between the Gods and Titans. The protagonist seems boring and weak. The Gods do a lot of the work for him.
VERDICT:
This is a fun little watch if youre into action movies but only the end will please you. I leave you with this question If the God of the seas dies, what happens to the seas..??
