Why was Immortals so dark?
I watched Immortals and the whole movie seemed so dark and gloomy. I mean, the visuals are more black and yellow based than normal movies. No sun, no birds, no happiness- just night and black and killings. Why was it made this way? And is this any specific filming technique?

I believe the idea was to attempt a 300-like movie by shooting and editing with particularly dark effects.
As for the dark plot line, Greek mythology did tend to be dark and such details as the three priestess' being cooked in an iron bull are accurate but this movie takes it way too far

Immortals never really rises above "decent", and won't topple 300 as the recent king of the genre, but it does manage to have an exciting, epic feel to it and it's entertaining enough to be worth a watch for fans of blood-soaked sword and sandals flicks.Royal Blood - How Did We Get So Dark?
