Mortal | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

It's damn solid filmmaking and an unfamiliar spin on a familiar subject matter.

We get the beginnings of an adventure grounded in our reality convincing enough to pull us into the incredible.

Mortal plods along for most of its running time with the occasional helicopter chase scene and plenty of CGI fulminology: But ultimately Ovredal's not-so-deep-dive into Norwegian mythos is a too-obvious let down.

Never really pays off, and it's such a slog to get to that ending that people might feel slightly underwhelmed.

Mortal is an ambitious film that tells of a descendant story in a grounded but visually stimulating way.
