Sinopsis(1)
Eones después de que los dioses vencieran a los titanes, un nuevo peligro maléfico amenaza la tierra. Enloquecido por el poder, el rey Hiperión (Mickey Rourke) ha declarado la guerra a los hombres. Después de reunir a un ejército sediento de sangre formado por soldados que él mismo mandó desfigurar, Hiperión quema Grecia a su paso mientras busca un arma de poder inimaginable, el legendario arco Epiro, hecho por Ares en el Olimpo. El hombre que posea este arco podrá liberar a los titanes, que llevan encerrados detrás de los muros del monte Tártaro desde el principio de los tiempos y claman por vengarse. En manos del rey, el arco significaría la destrucción de la raza humana y la aniquilación de los dioses. Pero la ley prohíbe que los dioses se entrometan en los conflictos de los hombres. Nada pueden hacer para detener a Hiparión, hasta que un campesino llamado Teseo (Henry Cavill) les devuelve la esperanza. Zeus encomienda en secreto una misión a Teseo, la de salvar a su pueblo de Hiperión y sus hordas. Después de reunir a un grupo entre el que se encuentra la visionaria sacerdotisa Fedra (Freida Pinto) y el astuto esclavo Stavros (Stephen Dorff), el héroe deberá encabezar la rebelión si no quiere ver su patria destruida y la desaparición de los dioses.

Immortals no tienen una historia que los mueva a algún lugar, ni personajes que les den vida. Y para un cuerpo femenino cubierto hay treinta cuerpos masculinos semidesnudos. Pero la película es satisfactoriamente sangrienta, el concepto de los dioses y su sede sobre las nubes no parece una película porno barata (ver la nueva Furia de titanes), y la escenografía opulenta está al borde del genio del diseño. No me aburrí, tampoco estaba en trance, nadie me daba pena y tampoco le deseaba suerte a alguien, pero aún así tenía ganas de verla hasta el final. Un vacío de pose impresionante.

Fortunately, it is different than 300, and much more mature and refined in terms of mythological storytelling. What's bad about it are the exact moments when it leaves Tarsem Singh's quirky theatricality and tries to sell it as a simple mainstream product for fans of Snyder's bicep circus. In any case, this amphitheater (what some refer to as poorness and lack of epicity, I refer to as grip and intentional "scenicity") provides a fairly solid portion of aesthetic pleasure from a unique view of ancient mythology (although it uses it as a purposeful texture, it is able, unlike most similar films, to create the appearance of a coherent universality - paradoxically, if you take 300, Clash of the Titans and Troy, Immortals corresponds to the ancient prefiguration least). I enjoyed it, sometimes very much.

Please, no more battles between reality and dream. Tarsem Singh finally found a substance in which his unmistakable visuals do not become empty mannerisms, but instead perfectly serve an interesting (albeit simple) story in the theatrical vein of the big studio "sandal films" of the 1960s Hollywood big screen era. Paradoxically, the epic is conveyed through non-action acts, which allows the excellent actors to shine. Rourke’s villain is rightly being elevated to Olympus by everyone, whilst Cavill's charismatic bastard holds great promise not only for the new Superman but for similar types of roles in general. Beyond that, Freida Pinto's ass is just for show. This is another one of those occasional film pieces where I was put off going to the movie theater by lukewarm reviews and, despite the HD screening, I will regret it for a long time to come. 4 ½.

A supremely aesthetic affair in which Tarsem Singh has imprinted his unmistakable, bizarre visual sensibility. The theatrical stylisation, the lack of epicness and the sparseness of the film's sets (while at the same time visually intoxicating) are the author's intention, not due to the producers' boredom and a hole in their wallets. I want to have this in Blu-ray.

That was yummy! A film doomed to the most mixed reviews. For some it will be an insufficiently stylized and insufficiently action-packed copy 300, for others, a way too stylised and an unfaithful take on ancient mythology, and yet for others, a screenwriting mess without any clear motifs and relationships… or, it’s really easy to criticise Immortals. But if I had to criticise one thing, it would be that, compared to his previous film, Tarsem Singh has taken a bit too big a step towards the average audience. But despite that, he’s made a very original and stylised film that I refuse to call average, even if I was forced to. Visually, it’s one of the most intoxicating films from last year and I’m sorry to have missed it in the cinema.
