Tippett Studio loves our fanboys! As IMMORTALS reigned its opening weekend box office with an above-expectations $32M bow, we were delighted with reviews like this one from geektyrant.com
“There’s one battle sequence in particular between the Gods and the Titans that was ridiculously awesome, a short clip was released recently for it. Whenever the Gods fought there was this slow motion speed element added that enhanced the badassery.”
