Immortals

Indian director Tarsem Singh's third feature is another visually stunning film that lacks again any kind of substance. In this faux Greek tale the gods need the help of a mortal to prevent a vicious king from unleashing the titans that could threaten their livelihood. Since the story has nothing to do with the Greek Mythology, everything's fair game so that nothing makes sense and all you have left is the striking visuals and non-stop action with the mostly attractive cast. Henry Cavill stars along with Freida Pinto, Mickey Rourke, John Hurt and Stephen Dorff amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
