John H Very very stylish. The plot is nonexistent or at least incidental. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Gunn W Has a similar feel between 'Blade Runner' and/or 'The 5th Element' but on a shoestring budget Keep in mind, this movie is a LOW BUDGET film, not attracting the likes of Harrison Ford, Stanley Kubrick, or Bruce Willis, etc - but as a percentage of $$ spent, I'd say this movie does a lot more, considering their resources were a lot less. Those who call this movie 'confusing' are just used to Hollywood spoon feeding them plotlines and simple stories! No, they never explain where the different races come from - why some of them are animated, human or something in the middle - but for those of us who have a good imagination, it doesn't really matter. We can create our own stories concerning Earth and all its new inhabitants without a 15 minute backstory. I'd prefer to get on with the action, which this film does right from the first second! It's really hard to rate as I can't say I've ever seen a movie like this. It's certainly unique!!! But highly creative!!! I wish they had cut back a little bit on how much focus was given to the love story.. overall it was pretty awesome! RECOMMENDATION: Just watch the 1st 15 minutes, that's enough to give you the feel of the movie and not waste too much time. I personally think you will love it!! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/05/23 Full Review john p 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitely weird. Worth a watch once through. If you like scifi based on comics, like Mobius, this might be for you. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member That movie was freaky... but I liked it... as odd & as hard as it was to follow at times.
