I try not to give into marketing
hype, especially for the so-called blockbuster titles that seem to have a cast
of dozens and the slick advertising, but in the case of Immortal, I did.
Since I wanted to sample a JKP title anyway, Immortal seemed to be one of
the most universally acclaimed release, and I went ahead and ordered it.
Maybe it's because my tastes have changed away from couple's features but I
don't agree with the many reviewers who have generally gushing praise for this
Michael Raven feature. In terms of plot, it's a rehash of the mainstream chick flicks City of Angels and Xanadu, with Julian playing a struggling musician, who is inspired to success by the muse Cleo (Jill Kelly). Of course, since this is an adult movie, the character development is almost non-existent, and it's not long before Aaron and Cleo are the couple and screwing away happily. Other characters include Damon (Randy Spears), the record executive who likes Aaron's music and Lyla (Inari Vachs), a record producer who had a past relationship with Damon. Asia Carerra and Devon headline the group of the other Muses who take a trip down to Earth to "experience" mortal love. Of course, the acting is quite spotty -- Julian is not a good acting lead, Inari's Halle Berry-inspired diction is very irritating, and Asia's trademark dialogue delivery is always laborious. But since when has porn been about the dialogue scenes? So what about the dirty bits then? Jill and Julian make a surprisingly good couple -- their fucking is really nice to watch, and they obviously have good chemistry (it's pretty evident when you look at how intensely Julian enjoys himself). Randy is the consummate woodsman and is one of the few "old timers" that I still look forward to seeing. Inari needs to cut back on the saliva flow during her famous sloppy blowjobs, but she looks divine in glasses. The orgy scene that the balance of the cast appears in is pretty decent -- a good mix of action, including oral, girl-girl, one-on-one, 4 girls on one guy, and a messy oral cumshot. There's a three-girl lesbian scene with Asia, April, and Dee, but it's fairly boring with mostly oral and fake climaxes. The final coupling between Jill and Julian is solid -- highlights are Julian in tight leather pants and a money shot on her pubes followed by some post-shot fucking. Overall, it's a solid couple's movie that has its share of problems (lighting at times is weak, shaky acting, hit-or-miss chemistry) but isn't that bad. It's obvious from the end result and the behind-the-scenes video that JKP tried their best to make this as "big" as they could. From the letterboxed presentation to the marketing campaign to the music, it aims high. It's not a keeper in my book because it doesn't hit the mark and because I wasn't enamored by the cast or their performances in general. It's definitely not a Wicked-class production despite the big name cast and director, so I can't agree with the lavish praise for Immortal. But it certainly rises well above average for the couple's genre, so I'll recommend it if that's the type of porn you're in the market for.
