Blu-ray Reviews of Immortal [Blu-ray]

Blu-ray Review: Why Does Horus Suddenly Appear?
Summary: 4 Stars

The Good Things
*Video and sound quality are not bad. The picture doesn't seem as sharp as it should be (too much DNR perhaps?!), but it still outdoes the DVD's quality. The image is clean, has good color (even though the movie is mostly gray and blue), and fairly well-detailed.
*Includes English subtitles which can translate the parts of the movie that were spoken in Egyptian. The only downside is that these subtitles need to be turned on manually. But it's still good that it has some; the DVD version didn't have any, so I couldn't tell what was going on!
*Includes a making-of featurette and some trailers.
*Very excellent special effects. Visual imagery is so spectacular throughout the film that it is hardly ever dull (even though there's no real action to it).
*Good filming style with lots of vivid imagery.
*Excellent production design. Lots of funky sets, costumes, props, and loads of really cool flying cars.
*Fascinating characters. Lots of emotion; good acting and pretty good writing.
*Very interesting concepts throughout. Some content concerning eugenics. Some parts seem to question the definition of humanity.
*Good music.

The Bad Things
*Rather strange, somewhat confusing story. Definately warrants multiple viewings, however.
*Gets a little slow at some parts.
*Not for kids or the extremely squeamish; contains bloody violence, swearing, nudity, and sex.

The Questionable Things
*I don't get why so many characters were completely computer-generated; it seemed to make everything look more fake and confusing.

Easily comparable to "The Fifth Element," but I consider this to be a little superior in many ways. "Immortal" is what science fiction should be about; intriguing visions of the future and of other worlds. It's also got some deep content concerning the nature of humanity. The storyline suffers from being a little too strange, confusing, and slow at parts, but I was very pleased with the visuals and the emotions of the characters. If you're interested in good sci-fi, I'd reccomend at least renting this.
