According to Shaikh Ayaz, director Tarsem Singh's imaginative artistry makes Immortals a visual treat.The kind of subjects director Tarsem Singh picks allows him to imbue his canvas and characters with a sense of monumentality that is becoming rare in cinema.
Whether it is The Cell or The Fall, they are treated like epics. His latest, Immortals, is brutal, engaging and ironically savage given that it depicts a social order in which the gods of Greek mythology disembark for a feast of Mahabharata-style visual effects. What gives the film consistency is its explicit sense of disorder and mayhem and Tarsem seems to revel in that.
He reserves his best not for storytelling but in the care with which he treats his images, and mythology allows him leeway to recreate this world vis-à-vis his personal vision. His pictorial style may not be unique but it does have its appeal.
Tarsem's imaginative artistry is nowhere more apparent than in the ability to see the inner lives of the gods, such as Hyperion's (Mickey Rourke) evil gambit to control Greece or Zeus's (Luke Evans) concern for humanity.
