After the miserable 3D mess that was The Clash of the Titans, you may look at this and figure it’s just another sand and sandal epic telling the same old story in the same old way. Well, look again. The story may be familiar, but the way director Tarsme Singh tells it is unlike anything you have seen before. The movie is filled with stunning visual imagery, from the stylish look of the fight scenes to the jaw-dropping beauty of the backgrounds. It may sound crazy, but the movie looks a lot better without the 3D glasses you had to use in theaters, and not just because the colors are brighter when you aren’t wearing sunglasses in a darkened theater. Immortals is more than a visual feast, though. The story and the acting, from Mickey Rourke as King Hyperion to Freida Pinto as the virgin seer Phaedra, are just as original and creative.
