SYNOPSIS
Visionary director Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) and producers Gianni Nunnari (300), Mark Canton (300) and Ryan Kavanaugh (The Fighter) unleash an epic tale of treachery, vengeance and destiny in Immortals, a stylish and spectacular 3-D adventure. As a power-mad king razes ancient Greece in search of a legendary weapon, a heroic young villager rises up against him in a thrilling quest as timeless as it is powerful.
The brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his murderous Heraklion army are rampaging across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus. With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. With ruthless efficiency, Hyperion and his legions destroy everything in their wake, and it seems nothing will stop the evil king’s mission.
As village after village is obliterated, a stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) vows to avenge the death of his mother in one of Hyperion’s raids. When Theseus meets the Sybelline Oracle, Phaedra (Freida Pinto), her disturbing visions of the young man’s future convince her that he is the key to stopping the destruction. With her help, Theseus assembles a small band of followers and embraces his destiny in a final desperate battle for the future of humanity.

Absolutely unimpressed.

I’m less unimpressed, but I like these kinds of movies so perhaps I’m easily swayed!? I enjoyed 300, loved Troy, disliked Clash of the Titans (remake). My first thoughts are that this will bring the kind of action that Clash of the Titans should’ve had and, quite possibly, a more engaging story. The landscape reminds me strongly of Middle Earth though. I’m curious enough that I’d see this in a theater instead of waiting for DVD.

WOW. next time, find a few more actors, and a few less pretty faces. Now I’m a bit worried about the Superman reboot. Damn if that wasn’t meh-inspiring.

Well, it has Mickey Rourke. That counts for something, right?!?
