I Am Mortal

Acting--mediocre to good, the lead actor could do a few more hours practicing his lines and facial emotions.

Cinematography---there were plenty of scenes to celebrate about, although this one sure is low budget, but no cheap frills here.

Story--there isn't any. There's just a forced premise that mortality is better, but no story development, no peak and valleys, just a tired plateau.

Verdict-- DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Reading the news is more exciting.

Immortals - actually as you might notice yourself, it is not literally true. Because if you are able to die, than you are not actually immortal. But no one seems to wish someone else harm ... well most of the time. Because trying to contain humans and their emotions is quite difficult - or rather impossible to be honest.

Having said that, the movie has an interesting premise. But one we can't be entirely sure about. What would you do, how would you feel, if you knew you had the possibility to live forever? Of course since you would not be the only one, but it would also include your friends, that would make it easier. At least in theory that is.

But there are other hidden agendas and things contained in this. And while the main idea is more than intriguing, a lot of cliches and predictable plot points creep in. This dares to be different, but does not fully succeed. Still decent effort in my book - especially if you like Science Fiction in general.

This is not an action movie. There is a lot of dialogue and not much that is fast-paced. If you want a heart-pounding thriller, you will be disappointed.

The movie also presents the main idea fairly early on and then spends the rest of the movie developing the plot and exploring some of the nuances of that main idea. Don't expect too many sharp twists and turns.

For a low-budget movie, I was actually quite impressed at how easily I was able to lose myself in the story (as opposed to thinking "This looks like the set was cobbled together with parts from the junkyard," which some movies seem to be). I liked how part of that accessibility was how natural all the actors & actresses were; instead of an unnaturally-Hollywood-gorgeous-pencil-thin cast they were all just clean, normal yet attractive people. I was also impressed that despite the low budget they were all fairly convincing actors.

Some other reviewers thought this was a Christian movie, but it is actually just a "faith vs science" thing, or even better "determinism vs free will."

All in all I definitely think this deserves a rating much higher than the 3/10 that it shows at the moment. I've seen some very bad movies in my time and this one is much closer to the excellent ones than the terrible ones.

Yes there was mention of religion but I wouldn't say this is a Christian film nor would I say that it portrayed atheists bad christians good. It was a poorly made dystopian film that might have been good if they had developed the story, characters and plot. It was very disappointing and I wouldn't watch it again. Don't waste your time.

I have only one thing to say about the review from Dex<Slazenger ........... Dude it's a movie, if you really get that serious and upset about a movie find another hobby.
