Synopsis

After he learns he harnesses the power of telekinesis, normal high school-er Jack is swept up into a life of crime by Felix, the charismatic leader of a local anti-hero group. As he bonds with his new friends Felix, Piper, Vera, and Duke, he is asked to help them with their most challenging heist yet. But, what he finds is that the greatest challenge lies among the teens themselves.

Where to Watch

Diversity & Representation

Overall Score

4.6/10

Fair


Category Breakdown

LGBTQ+ Representation

Limited

The film lacks explicit mentions of non-cisnormative identities or same-sex relationships. While the ensemble cast offers potential for queer subtext, no queer-coded narratives are documented.

Gender Representation

Fair

A balanced ensemble includes female characters like Piper and Vera. However, the focus on a male protagonist and a charismatic leader suggests a potentially traditional power structure.

Racial & Ethnic Diversity

Fair

The narrative prioritizes genre tropes over explicit explorations of race. There is no evidence of a non-white majority cast or race-bent casting within the plot.

Religious & Cultural Diversity

Fair

The story explores moral relativism by framing the protagonists as an anti-hero group. This disrupts the standard dichotomy of good versus evil through their criminal activities.

Disability Representation

Minimal

There is no mention of neurodivergence or physical disabilities. The telekinetic abilities function as a science fiction trope rather than a representation of lived disability.

Strengths

  • The use of an anti-hero group provides a departure from conventional hero tropes.
  • The ensemble cast allows for a diverse range of interpersonal character dynamics.
  • The narrative explores moral relativism through its focus on criminal activity.

Areas for Improvement

  • The film lacks explicit representation of LGBTQ+ identities or queer-coded narratives.
  • There is no documented evidence of racial or ethnic diversity within the cast.
  • The telekinetic elements serve genre tropes rather than representing lived disability experiences.

AI Analysis

The Immortals operates primarily within the standard parameters of the science fiction and thriller genres. It utilizes the anti-hero trope to explore interpersonal conflict and moral ambiguity among a group of teens. While the film avoids rigid hero archetypes by focusing on a heist-driven criminal collective, it lacks documented evidence of intersectional complexity. The narrative centers on plot mechanics and speculative abilities rather than systemic critique. Ultimately, the film functions as a character-driven genre piece that lacks the specific demographic depth or social commentary required for a higher diversity rating.
