The brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his murderous Heraklion army are rampaging across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus. With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. With ruthless efficiency, Hyperion and his legions destroy everything in their wake, and it seems nothing will stop the evil king's mission. As village after village is obliterated, a stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) vows to avenge the death of his mother in one of Hyperion's raids. When Theseus meets the Sybelline Oracle, Phaedra (Freida Pinto), her disturbing visions of the young man's future convince her that he is the key to stopping the destruction. With her help, Theseus assembles a small band of followers and embraces his destiny in a final desperate battle for the future of humanity.
This is another one of those wannabe 300 movies. It had that same visual flair as 300 and the other attempts at something like it. This one is probably the closest to 300 because it actually had a story not just a bunch of buff dudes running around and lots of gore. I was one of the people that thought 300 was amazing visually but not as totally awesome as many others did. I feel pretty much the same way about this one. I guess I'm just not in to the whole Greek Gods thing enough to really get in to the story.
I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this out. But that is based on my lessened level of interest in the subject matter. I have no doubt that those of you that liked 300 will be sure to like Immortals as well.
