I Am Mortal

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 what happens when one tries write SciFi without understanding the Rules Of Tropes, and there's plenty used along the way in here.

Some of the actors do good work, some are 'phoning it in,.'

Technical side, camera, sound, lighting, editing, are all carried off competently, making the production look better then the plot has any right to.

It's basically an Asylum type film with better production values and some well known B-listers getting their scene on in main roles instead of being sidekicks.

Put it on to fall asleep to, the dreams that follow will have better plots.

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.

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.

Honestly this movie is so boring I nearly died, you feel nothing for any of the characters at all, the idea could be good but you don't actually get any kind of answer at all, I have a feeling they want to do a trilogy but because the first one is such a dribble borefest I doubt it will happen. Extremely low budget poop, wish I could get my time back.
