To classify Immortal as a live-action production would be a misnomer. The movie is at least 95% animated. There are only 3 or 4 live actors, and everything else is sub-Playstation quality CGI (when I say Playstation, I'm not even talking PS2; I mean original Playstation). Some of the characters are strange-looking aliens that you could make a reasonable case needed to be digital, but even most of the normal human characters are animated for no particular reason. The movie was produced in English, but most of the European actors (both live and voiceover) are clearly sounding out their lines phonetically, which I suppose was a benefit for them; if they could understand the atrocious dialogue they were speaking, they'd probably be horrified.

The story set in New York City of the future. Specifically, it's set in New York City of the Fifth Element future. If the CGI wasn't so soft and blurry you could probably spot Bruce Willis driving one of those flying cabs. A giant floating pyramid is hovering over the city, which no one below seems to notice or care about. Inside, half-naked, animal-headed Egyptian gods play Monopoly and card games (I'm not kidding, this is really the plot!). One of the gods named Horus is sentenced to death for reasons that are never explained. He must have lost at gin rummy or something. Anyway, he's allowed seven days to cruise the city looking for chicks, which I guess is the ancient Egyptian equivalent of a last meal. He's desperate to impregnate one so that he can be reborn later or some stupid nonsense like that, but to do that he has to possess the body of a human man, because the Egyptian gods don't seem to have genitals of their own. Problem is, most of the time he tries to do this the human body explodes. Naturally, the police think he's a serial killer (Stop snickering! I'm really not kidding!). Eventually he finds one suitable body in a subversive existentialist poet/political revolutionary guy named Nikopol, and together they roofie a blue-haired goth chick and rape her, but hey the guy is kind of studly so of course she enjoys it and falls in love with her rapist.

It turns out the blue-haired hottie has an alien boyfriend who's totally into her "experimenting" with other men for reasons that are meant to be somehow philosophically profound. Then there's a bright red hammerhead shark-looking monster that slithers along walls and can shrink himself and swim through the plumbing system. I'm not really sure what the point of that was, but he gets zapped into goo by the laser eyes of the bird-headed Egyptian god. At the end, they all go to Central Park, which despite the rest of the city being in the middle of summer seems to be located in the arctic.

The movie is astoundingly stupid and boring and cheesy, with exceptionally poor animation quality and even worse dialogue. I pity poor Charlotte Rampling for getting trapped in this mess, even in such a minor supporting role. She's an actress of a caliber way beyond this tripe, and must have lost a bet to be showing up in it. The story doesn't make any sense, and it's so damn joyless and dull you don't want it to make any sense. You just want it to be over. Sadly, it takes 104 painful minutes to get there. Avoid at all costs.

Final Thoughts: I find it impossible to believe that anyone could enjoy or think that Immortal is a good movie. It's not even worth a rental. Pretend you never heard of it and consider yourself better off.
