So the premise of this movie is that you’ve got a group of immortals, right — a handful of people who’ve been around for centuries or millennia. But where a movie like Highlander envisioned its immortals in a competition to the death with each other, this movie sees them as a community that works together as a force to make the world a better place.

But the way they do this involves a lot of shooting and punching in a very tactical way, which tbh seems like super-not the most effective way for a handful of immortals to use their powers to effect positive change over a long time horizon. (The movie actually lampshades this a bit, with a researcher finding out that their interventions have been improbably effective in a way that is clearly supposed to suggest some kind of divine providence guiding their hands.)

But hey, logic isn’t the point, because the point is that this is an action movie with fantasy trappings, not a fantasy movie that’s trying to develop certain technical and philosophical ideas concerning that genre. But even as an action movie, this seems kinda middling — the fight scenes weren’t overlong and dull, which is good, but neither did they particularly stand out as anything special. They were just there, doing their replacement-level action scene thing.

Which really ends up being my take on the movie as a whole. It’s fine. There are worse ways to spend two hours. But I’m going to forget about this movie in approximately twenty minutes, and while there’s a sequel hook with unresolved plotlines at the end, I am utterly indifferent as to whether that sequel gets made. Not especially recommended, but enh, wevs.
