Dark Jedi I was in two minds about this movie. Should I just call it crap or not. In the end I decided that it does not really deserve a crap rating and it was actually mildly entertaining although with an emphasis on mildly.This is indeed a weird and bizarre movie. We do not really get any explanation or background story in the beginning. It just starts with a rather gray and depressing, as well as weird and bizarre, New York city in 2095. Most of the people seem to be medically and/or genetically modified, mutants or downright aliens. A pyramid which is shown to hold ancient Egyptian gods are hovering over the city. The film blurb appears to be misleading though since Earth is hardly occupied but rather these gods just seems to be on a visit to settle some of their affairs.We are not really given any explanation as to what follows either or why other than that one of the gods, Horus, is condemned to death and is on a quest to procreate with one of the few women that can mate with a god before his allotted time is up. This is a film where there is little meaning in asking any questions and the only thing you can do is to let yourself be taken through the scenes and enjoy the imagery. This is where the enjoyment of this film lays, in the scenery of future New York, the bizarre creatures and the bizarre plot. The special effects are nothing fantastic but enough to keep up the interest in the movie. The future New York is a mixture of old and new styles and technology. The persons are a mixture between live actors and Final Fantasy like CGI creations. Did I mention that it is all very weird and bizarre? It is certainly a very "artistic" movie.In the end I did not feel it was a wasted evening but it is not exactly a film that will end up on any of my top lists either. Interesting experience and nice to have seen it though and I can understand that some people give it very high ratings. It is not a movie for everyone that is for sure.

haterofcrap This was a horrible film, absolutely boring and stupid.The CGI was awful beyond belief, and combining it with real actor only made it look worse. The plot was lame, the script was stupid and poorly made, and the performances were painfully bad.The only reason why I give this 2 stars instead of the 1 that it deserves, it is because the premise was somewhat original (Actually the idea was good, but it was poorly done. What a waste of a good plot)If you want to see a good combination of live action and CGI characters, watch "Avatar" or "MirrorMask", and skip this boring movie. This film is pretty bad.

accendant This movie was a complete surprise. Never thought I would call Scifi beautiful but this movie deserves the praise. The movie conjures a very unique feeling of authenticity and awe or reverence which I didn't think could be done with film. I think this is due to the pace of the movie which is reminiscent of a dream, and the atmospheric music (awesome unobtrusive and emotive). Similar feel to watching and listening to Dr Manhatten from the watchmen. No surprise there considering they are apparently both derived from graphic novels.What surprised me was you gained this strong feeling about the movie but don't really know why. The setting and story were solid to the point of jumping past that point of disbelief into the world of believing. The characters were all convincing. Spoilers:The scene in the bar when the blood splattered god walks in and and has a conversation about body parts and peers menacing at the guy sitting at the bar evokes a feel of violence and psychopathy, something I have never experienced before in any movie.I can only hope the public start wanting more movies like this which have a heart and soul. If you like Scifi you will love this. You may have even forgotten the feelings you had when you read the scifi books of your youth. This film will remind you.Hats off for bringing Scifi Movies to a a new level...bows

sianlover I enjoy most SF and fantasy fare, and am always happy to make allowances for rough edges and failings where a film seems to deserve such indulgence. However, it would be unnecessarily generous to imply that Immortel ad Vitam is anything other than rubbish. It's overblown and tedious and it offers nothing that you have not seen done better in countless other films. Anyone who is familiar with the works of Philip K Dick, Frank Herbert and Roger Zelazny will see just how much shameless ripping-off is going on here, and (my only real complaint about this) how badly such material is being wasted. The same could be said of the excellent Charlotte Rampling.
