Out Tuesday, may 13, on house video — or now, if you want a digital copy — is I, Frankenstein, a steampunk action motion picture starring Aaron Eckhart as the titular creature, Adam.

After killing his creator’s cherished — as well as inadvertantly his creator, who complied with the monster into the wintertime wastes as well as perished — Adam is now being hunted by demons. They’re battled by gargoyles, angelic-powered warriors led by the sympathetic Queen Leonore (Miranda Otto). I was pleased by the impact in which the gigantic leathery wings turned into swirling capes when the gargoyles went human. (You can see that in the trailer at the end of this post.)
The demons, led by prince Naberius (Bill Nighy in evil businessman mode), lastly discover Adam in the contemporary day, which brings him back to civilization. Naberius’ scientists, led by Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck), are trying to master reincarnation with a lot of tech toys. If they get their hands on the creature, they’ll get Frankenstein’s trick of making it happen.

I, Frankenstein is from the producers of Underworld, as well as from what I understand of that series, they’re similar. I was likewise reminded of Van Helsing, which isn’t as much of a recommendation. during the prologue section of this film, Adam narrates a lot of events that we’re shown in abbreviated glimpses. I believe that story — the original, from the book — would have made a much better film, however that’s not what they’re going for here.
There are lots of great CGI impacts as well as supernatural creatures battling each other. If you such as this type of action movie, I, Frankenstein is a great option for a viewing, since the settings are visually fascinating as well as the actors have skills. Plus, great deals of British accents make the silliest dialogue noise a lot more important.
