Set in the future the world has been split into sectors, humans have captured Deviant and force them to fight to the death. Madman, Dominion Harvey, hosts the Immortal Wars and televises the show to the entire planet. Trikalypse and fellow deviants will not only fight to survive but to bring down Dominion Industries.
I suppose the polite and upstanding thing to say to director Joe Lujan in regards to The Immortal Wars is congratulations you made a movie and to be it makes an interesting speculative point about the possible future of reality television. For those of you who might be interested The Immortal Wars is set in Lujan’s Ravage Reign Universe.
The reasoning behind inflicting The Immortal Wars upon myself was the same spur of the moment decision that led me to watch Les Patterson Saves the World. So, I suppose at this point I’m supposed to say you win some, you lose some. It should also be noted its Sequel The Immortal Wars: Resurgence is to be released in September.
The people I was familiar with who were involved with the production of this movie was Eric Roberts and Tom Sizemore and its has been a long time since I have last seen a movie that they have stared in. A lot of the other performances everybody else who was cast in the movie at best could be described as wooden. I would have liked to have been able to dismiss by being able to say that a lot of the actors cast in Immortal Wars were very inexperienced. I am unable to do that, I seriously believe that if the entire cast had of committed to their roles they would have been able to salvage something. Considering that a fighting competition is a big plot point for this movie the biggest disappointment for this movie was the fight choreography, to say that the fight scenes were uninspired, would be polite way to put things. Considering that this was a comic book movie (the seventh feature film in Lujan’s universe) I expect more from the action sequences, even if this is an independent movie.
