This Sci-Fi movie from 2004 is outstanding. Nevermind the 43% Rotten Tomatoes rating on this gem, it’s a classic piece that mixes CGI and real footage to give it a real gritty feel. There is some uncomfortable subject matter in this film, but I dig the vibes and the merging of animation and reality. Considering that this was made in 2004 the CGI film work on this is a masterpiece. So what’s the film about you say? The scene is dystopian New York 2095. In this environment genetically altered humans and Egyptian gods clash with Horus searching for a woman capable of giving birth to his child. Horus finds a woman named Jill that can procreate with gods. Horus manages this feat by taking over the body of an escaped convict. Sound a little crazy? Youbetcha!
