It's available on Netflix streaming, and it's a dimly lit film. I hear it had good 3D.
I have an odd relationship to this film. I went to Wondercon 2011 to interview Saorsie Ronan in Hanna, just for fun really, and there was a press junket for Immortals (see fb album <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150214471734363.352649.135964689362&type=1">http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 362&type=1</a><!-- m -->). Our graphic artist was into it as he had heard some buzz, so we went. He went on to do a review of it as we were offered the screener, but I wasn't that into it.
I'm tired of Mickey Rourke. I've never really liked him. Frieda was totally under used. I kept wanting to see an alien pop our of Hurt's chest (btw, tg, you mean John, not William). I don't think I like Tarsem overall. He delivers some interesting scenes and I relate to his super saturated color schemes as part of his Bollywood roots, but he still hasn't delivered a film that was completely satisfying. Mirror Mirror was almost there - I liked that it ended with a Bollywood number. His best stuff is his B&D imagery. All that taken into account, the fight scenes were really entertaining. Fun sword fights. If I was just watching those cut together, and put on my own music, I'd really enjoy it. Tarsem really needs a good script.
