beautiful montage from Immortel (awesome flick!)

Immortel was a French film - yet English is the language - shot entirely on green-screen but also had live actors interacting with semi-realistic CGI people as well (rather than CGI fantasy characters) The story is a redemption/savior type blended with Egyptian mythology and put in a sci-fi wrapping. I found it breath-taking and moving, unlike Casshern which while stimulating and visually arresting featured a story and characters that left me cold. Immortel is a sad story with no bad guy and no good guy.
NSFW because the song has a couple of f-bombs.

Saw that movie when it came out. It was disappointing. Incredibly cool and creative idea, but not well delivered... I mean, a hammerhead shark is the "scary" killer in the film. I'll upvote because it's so unique, but wow, bad movie and I was SO excited to see it. It killed me that it was so badly made. VERY VERY low budget, low resolution CG. If you want this sort of thing, but good, see Mirrormask. Though I'll again give you that it was profoundly creative. I'd love to see more of this sort of wild stuff coming out of the film industry. So props for a great idea, but downs for poor delivery. Heck, the "gods" in this film are slow and boring. It's video-game quality CG... just not good enough for the silver screen imo. Anyway, this makes me want to watch it again. Good sift.

Not sure if you know/figured out but the shades of "realism" in the CGI was actually done intentionally. The realism of the rendering bespoke of the character's reality within the story and the character's reality's importance. I gleaned that quickly (although my husband didn't and complained at first) and really appreciated how that affected my viewing of the movie.
