I, Frankenstein is a Monster of a Movie


Rating 3 Out of 10

2014 has started with the release of the Australian-American fantasy action film I, Frankenstein. It released on January 24, 2014 and is based on the graphic novel (and original screenplay) by Kevin Grevioux. The film has been has written and directed by Stuart Beattie. Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, Socratis Otto, Jai Courtney and Kevin Grevioux are the stars of this monster movie.

The film starts with the death of Dr. Victor Frankenstein who dies after being frozen to death. He is buried in the family cemetery by the monster (Aaron Eckhart). After the fateful event, he is attacked by demons who try to kill him. But the monster kills one of the demons and is saved by gargoyles in the process. Gargoyle queen Lenore (Miranda Otto) and their commander, Gideon (Jai Courtney) name the monster Adam and invite him in their war against the demons. But Adam refuses the offer and prefers to stay isolated in remote places where he fights the demons with the weapons given to him by Lenore. The demons never cease to try and capture him to gain the secret of how to reanimate a corpse. He comes back after two hundred years to find a modern society where the evil demon leader Prince Naberiu (Bill Nighy), who disguised as businessman Charles Wessex and his right hand man Dekar (Kevin Grevioux) are planning to raise an army by bringing dead people to life with the help of scientist Terra Wade (Yvonne Strahovski). They also send a group of demons led by his most formidable warrior, Zuriel, to attack the gargoyles' cathedral and capture Adam so they can unlock the secret to give life through him. Now it is Adam’s mission to stop the demons from succeeding in their plan.

There is really not much to write about the film. Other than the average special effects and mediocre acting, nothing else can be termed passable or bearable. Whether it is the background music by Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil or photography or cinematography, everything leaves you with a feeling that things could have been better. There is a marked discrepancy in the film, starting with the title which is I, Frankenstein, when the film is about Frankenstein’s monster.

Only watch this film if you have absolutely nothing to do and have to pass your time somehow. Though my guess is that, you will be able to take a long nap in the movie theater itself.
