Immortal is one of those comic book adaptations that took a fully developed universe [...] did its best to try and make it an immortal cinematic experience, but its horribly badly aged computer-generated effects and images are just not on point anymore. Go to Full Review

It is rare that a film offers so much to see and so little to think about. We look at a CGI world made of ones and zeros watching a story made mostly of zeroes. Go to Full Review

Robert P @Superbad Sep 16, 2026 I loved this movie and own a copy on DVD... See more John H @jhritz Jul 9, 2024 Very very stylish. The plot is nonexistent or at least incidental. See more john p @SourceCodeX Mar 2, 2022 If you want a totally different chic gestalt of Heavy Metal-era, graphic novel, come celluloid alive that breathes the skewed weirdness of a Iain M. Banksian sci-fi tome yet retains that down-to-earth Blade Runner meets Fifth Element tawdry, bleak future visual and smug attitude then this flick RULES. If you are looking for smooth story line and sub-plots all falling into place neatly with intense and engaging and skilled acting then forget it. Remember this is art 2-D rising up to a 3-D computerized virtual life for the eye to worship and the brain to be teased. Granted, I love H. R. Giger darkworldviews in his art but they also make one uncomfortable. "Immortal" was full of uncomfortably mesmerizing artsy effects blending virtual PC-rendered and "real" actors and would also switch to 100% fake folk for some scenarios. I was put off a tad by this at first but then after a time you accepted this quasi-realism. I want to see this movie re-released and re-rendered 10 years from now when it will be impossible to tell render from real. Recommended viewing for sci-fi fans, (except for the several forced sex scenes which were disturbing in that perversely voyeuristic way.) Yes, I realize it was a vital part of the story but its graphic nature reminded me of all that flashy-cool sex art of the 1970s-80s Heavy Metal zines which helped sales -- a necessary evil . . . hmm, not. See more Jul 2, 2020 Definitely weird. Worth a watch once through. If you like scifi based on comics, like Mobius, this might be for you. See more Jan 9, 2020 Non capisco le critiche mosse a questo gran film. Criticare la CGI non ha senso, nel 2004 era un fantastico lavoro. La trama forse è un po confusa, cmq è un gran film d'amore e se mi permettete nell'era di netflix parlare di storia sconclusionata non ha senso, visto che date voti alti a film veramente pietosi e con buchi di sceneggiatura clamorosi. Cmq io l'ho trovato un bel film, piacevole, visionario e molto innamorato. See more Jun 15, 2017 That movie was freaky... but I liked it... as odd & as hard as it was to follow at times.
