Only reason I gave it a watch, was because of Chalize Theron (Going by actors/actresses is not something I usually do). Checked the score here on ImdB, and based on that, didn't expect much, besides a silly supernatural action movie.
Loved the concept, the characters (besides the ridiculous and cartoony badguy), the music. The way the characters were felt REAL, as if it was actual people who had lived to centuries if not millenia. It's so rare for movies to get that right, so big respect for that - Especially loved Theron's character, as it was very realistic and exactly what you would expect for someone who have tried to better the world for maybe thousands of years, but all in vain.
The movie isn't perfect though, as some moments annoyed me - Like the "Wait for the signal!", "What is the signal?" *BIG EXPLOSION* "Oh, that is the signal!". Me: Big facepalm.
The badguy also needs his own little rant, as he is just so out of place in this movie, that is really confusing me, honestly. In one second, he is really sadistic, and only care about getting rich, and in the next he talks about ending suffering and saving humanity - Pick a lane and stick with it, mate... Also, I feel he was really miscast for this role. Don't remember the actor's name, but honestly haven't seen him in any role that I like so far.
If the badguy had been less cartoonish, more sympathetic and nuanced, I would had given this an 8/10, but alas it wasn't so, sadly. Still a good watch if you don't have any expectations.
