Strengths
The computer graphics is amazing..especially the sets of the old Greek town in sea-side rock place is breathtaking. The movies first 30 min raises the curiosity bar and slowly looses its pace...The movie music is at is best and the art direction deserves a special mention
Henry is good and suits the fighter-revenge role with his toned muscle body...some times looked wooden due to poor character etching.Pinto is just blink of the eye role looks beautiful..that to the sex scene.... aesthetically picturised...though she looks odd in the cast...Mickey Rourkey is wasted in a routine role...Direction is average and the photography needs a thumbs UP!!!!! Isabella looks beautiful with heaven angel costumes
Weakness
The story and method of handling resembles Zack Snyder of 300 ,Sucker punch movie...But unless like Snyder , Tarasingh has lost his touch in the last 40 mins.. Brutal stunts when exaggerated feels disgusting...Even the stunt choreography is similar too 300...its repetitive..The story is old as hills..even the 'clash of titans', 'Percy Jackson' recent movies dealt with same story....Zombie pace screenplay is the biggest drawback....good start not capitalized.
Like blood and gore action..it is the movie you are looking for....
Verdict: 3/10( 1 for CG, 1 for Photography and 1 for Visuals and performance)
Movie canvas punch: Immortals ...pace worries with brutality...
