Immortal (Ad Vitam) (2004)

Mix Blade Runner with 1999's The Mummy, use the style and 100% CGI approach of Sky Captain, replace all but a couple of the human actors with crappily animated alternates, and you've got Immortal: a French comic book adaptation about Egyptian gods who want to procreate in a futuristic New York. It's certainly imaginative, and often stunning, but pretty boring and silly. The animation is often about 8 years behind the times. Notable as part of a group of simultaneous films shot 100% against CGI sets and backgrounds, and certainly not for any artistic merit. Not a terrible film, but pretty dissapointing, after the knockout trailer.

By far, my favorite parts of the movie were its cityscapes (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11), but I'll also provide you with some shots of its crappy character animation (1 2 3) and some miscellaneous shots (1 2 3 4 5).
