'Gods of Egypt', directed by Alex Proyas and starring Gerard Butler, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Brenton Thwaites and Geoffrey Rush in leading roles, hits theatres today! The Hollywood action flick follows the story of a young thief Bek (Brenton Thwaites), who allies with the Egyptian god Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in a mission to save the world from the merciless god of darkness Set (Gerard Butler).
Here are five promising features of the film.
Gerard Butler returns to the battlefield after his epic blockbuster ‘300’.
Although we won’t get to see his chiselled eight-pack under all that heavy body armour, seeing him play a God might just make up for it.
The film might just be the first one based on the mythology of Egyptian gods.
From ‘The Mummy’ to Moses and even ‘Exodus Gods and Kings’, we’ve seen a number of films revolving around Egyptian mythology and history, but never about their gods.
A treat for mythical movie lovers
If you are bored and tired of the same mundane films, ‘Gods of Egypt’ provides an escape into a mythical world where Gods walked among men and an era of heroes and mighty beasts.
Mythical beasts of Egypt come to life on the big screen.
While we have often loved the heroes in these mythical movies, it has more than often been the beasts that capture our imagination. The belief that these creatures once roamed the Earth, only makes it that much more interesting.
‘Gods of Egypt’ promises to be a visual treat with its impressive VFX and special effects.
Last but not the least, it is the superb work of graphic designers and the VFX team that will carry this movie forward.
