I just finished watching this movie and was there any type of coherent thought put into this movie? My head hurts. There was just so much going on, it seemed as though it could not keep to one part long enough to figure out what exactly was going on. Honestly, I do not recommend this movie. If you wish to watch it, take some aspirin first. There were Egyptian Gods, lots of computer graphics, some blue haired girl the Gods were after, and a guy who had been cryogenically frozen that became Horus's host. Very very weird. For me, nothing really made sense. Most people have said that Constantine was difficult to follow, but this movie makes Constantine look like a Disney movie in comparison to how easy it was to follow.

I had a better understanding of this movie since I had the opportunity to acquire the Nikopol Trilogy (Hardbound trade paperback of the comics) and read that before watching the movie. This movie is set in the year 2095 in New York City. The story starts out with a bewildered Jill being arrested by agents of Eugenics, a corporation which has its fingers on the pulse of the politicians who run the city. Jill is befriended by Emma Turner, who is a doctor that works for Eugenics. She studies Jill because she's never seen anything like Jill before - her organs are like those of a 3-month-old baby, and not in all the right places. Jill has many secrets, some that are not apparent even to herself. A pyramid hovers over the city, and at the same time, something called the Intrusion Zone overtakes Central Park, where it is always winter. These two events are not completely unrelated. Horus is awakened by Bast and Anubus, and is, for reasons not completely explained in the movie, given 7 days to experience the earth, his creation, before he is to be put to death. In the meantime, Nikopol, a resistance fighter against Eugenics who was put in cryogenic stasis to punish him for so-called crimes committed 30 years earlier, finds himself violently released from his prison a year early. Horus locates Nikopol, and because Nikopol is not synthetically altered, he finds Nikopol to be the perfect host for his antics, the least of which include having sex with Jill in order to impregnate her. I have seen other critics complain about the use of CGI in this film, but the use of it makes sense as it seems only those characters who have synthetic components (or are aliens or gods) are the ones made of CGI. Sure, we're all used to the great CGI effects we've seen in recent years with other movies like LoTR and the new Star Wars films, but I believe the point was to make them look "fake" because they were fake, and the more fake a character looked, the more synthetic elements to their character makeup. This movie reminded me of Fifth Element combined with Bladerunner in its look and feel, however, unless you read the comic, it may seem disjointed and not make much sense. Despite the drawbacks, I found this movie enjoyable. The movie is in English.

I can't believe that anyone would think this movie was good. The dialog was so bad - it must be more than just bad translation. I would go as far as to say, the editor just got a bunch of random sentences that he had to put together and was only given a short period of time. The dialog almost never makes sense. I know I could write better dialog and I'm not any good. As an example: Nikopol: "I'm not sure, and more importantly, I don't know." and another: Detective Froebe: "Be careful, the car is highly tuned." Dr. Rampling: "Just like you." -- I had a very difficult time getting past the dialog - it was enough to ruin the movie. Also, the story was very much incoherent, and there are characters who appear who just don't ever get explained and you never find out who they are or what they are there for. There is also a side story with Detective Froebe that adds NOTHING to the story and could have been removed. In fact, the detective was so ineffective as to be a non character. Similar to the dialog, the story sometimes jumps from one place to the next without the viewer ever know what is going on. At one point, Jill walks to the back of a bar, goes through a door and dons a space suit. The next thing we know, she's floating in space talking to John. We don't know how that happened. I have no idea why I should just accept something like that. Some of the reviewers say the movie was "beautiful", but you start with live action people, and then for a long time, all you see is bad CG (i.e. androids/aliens). I had to switch modes while watching and just consider it a CG cartoon. It was just far too low quality to be considered realistic. Certainly, the CG in "Final Fantasy" was far superior, and is years older. AND - I think that I followed the film completely. I get the impression that it was never the film makers' intention to provide anything more that that. A sorry excuse for a film. This makes the extras on the DVD that much more comical, as the producer, director and special effects people go on about how hard it was, or how amazing it is etc... etc... This film is one destined for the $5 bin at the video store.

Metropolis, Brazil, Blade Runner, City of Lost Children, Fifth Element, Dark City... throw them all in a blender and you've got the dark futuristic look of Immortal (Ad Vitam). Along with "Moebius" (art designer for Fifth Element) and Alejandro Jodorowsky (director of El Topo), Enki Bilal is one of the master story-tellers from the original Metal Hurlant publication known to most American comic-book aficionados as Heavy Metal. This is the film the original Heavy Metal should have been. There is sex and humor and action, but it is all thoroughly in service of a science-fiction plot gleefully drenched in Egyptian-mythological fantasy. The style is pure Bilal, textured and palpable. The plot is cerebral in that all humor (and tension) relates to character development; much like Blade Runner, if you do not follow the dialog there may not be enough action to sustain interest throughout the story. As such, there is little I could reveal about plot particulars without spoiling enjoyment of the tale's unfolding... the sad business about the leg, the quest for a certain woman, experiments with consumption, bathroom services, an oddly-formed fish... If you have a taste for science-fiction and fantasy, I highly recommend you take a little tour of New York 2095!

alike other voters i found myself needing to register to vote on this movie. This movie deserves praise, an excellent blend of animation with reality, Comments i have heard from other people that have viewed this film, " its hard to tell who is a human character and who is not". The story is a believable, futuristic story combined with the mystery of mythology. The continuity is superb, holding the viewers gaze until the last moment. A story of love and hate, amnesia, unknown power, innate strength to fight for survival, with sparks flying between characters. The beautiful Linda Hardy plays the roll of Jill perfectly, captivating the audience from the first moment she hits the screen. Mysterious and mystical a magical journey into the future. I would love to see a sequel, and a prequel of this film.

I love science fiction, I am fascinated by Egyptian mythology and I appreciate digital animation. I figured a movie that combines these three would be at least enjoyable. I could not have been more wrong: The story (or actually the lack there of) was completely uninspired and lacks imagination - while imagination usually is the biggest component of any science fiction story. The dialogue and acting are even worse than in an average porno movie. Especially Thomas Kretschmann gives new meaning to the term 'bad performance'. Bad acting wouldn't have been such a huge problem if only 'director' Bilal didn't take himself so seriously; all the lines sound like they are supposed to be poetic, it looks like Bilal really thinks he has made a piece of art here. Well, there's no art or poetry to be found in this piece of junk, only pretentiousness! This man should really stick to making comics, since he fails on all possible accounts as a director. Worst of all is the terrible digital animation, which is so ugly that it actually turns watching this movie into a physically painful experience. The graphics look so fake they even make the werewolves in 'Van Helsing' look like live actors! And since half the characters are CGI-animated, it is quite a problem that the CGI-effects look so fake. If the Egyptian Gods actually exist then Bilal's a dead guy, since they will no doubt take gruesome revenge on him for the ridiculous way in which he portrays them in this disastrously bad movie.
