Review of Immortals

Immortals (2011)
7/10
Visual Masterpiece. Just an Okay Film.
26 January 2012
Tarsem is one of my favorite directors, mostly because I like when directors use tools consistently enough to have a distinct look or feel. I would argue Tarsem's surrealist, vibrant high def look is one of the most distinctive around (currently). The Cell was an interesting movie that looked unbelievable. The Fall was a pure masterpiece - with epic storytelling and insanely well shot cinematography in some astounding locations. Immortals does not reach the level of The Fall, but it is slightly better than The Cell. It is a solid movie overall, but if nothing else it is gorgeous to look at. Some of the best shots are reminiscent of 300, but I believe it is done a little better here...Tarsem's films always seem to use time and space really well (like the slow motion whip against a marble palace), and this film is no exception.
