I, Frankenstein begins (sort of) at the end of the novel as Dr. Victor Frankenstein pursues his creation into the arctic to kill him, but succumbs to the elements. The creature returns Victor’s body to the family cemetery where he is attacked by demons, but is rescued by gargoyles (angels). The queen of the gargoyles explains to the creature (now named Adam) that there is an eternal conflict between gargoyles and demons over the existence of humans. Fast forward 200 years, and the creature Adam is enlisted in the battle, as the demons seek to capture him or Frankenstein’s journal in order to learn the secrets of reviving corpses. What follows is a series of kung-fu type battles between the opposing forces. Fans of horror / scifi movies have always been a rather forgiving lot, allowing for bad science and thin plots. But some degree of logic is required. Let’s start with the creature. He’s covered with a random hodge-podge of scars. Not the scars one would expect of a man who was assembled from several corpses, such as hands grafted onto arms, a head grafted to the body, or a brain inserted into a skull. Adam’s scars look more like he just came in second place in several sword fights. Dr. Frankenstein’s secret for reviving the corpse? Five jolts from electric eels. Were that the case no one would die from a heart attack as by the 21st century surely some doctor would have figured out the magic formula for reviving a patient is 5 jolts from a defibrillator. So what we’re left with is a series of fights between demons and gargoyles, with Adam taking part from time to time. Not much of a movie. Obviously the attraction of the movie is that it is available in 3D. The movie was not filmed in 3D, but was converted before its theatrical release. The 3D effects are generally good, displaying excellent depth, but never any jump-out-into-the audience effects. With so few movies available in 3D, owners of 3D televisions are starved for content other than animated features, but the 3D effects in this movie can’t save it from a tedious plot of endless kung-fu battles. I’d barely rate the movie as 2 stars out of five, but elevate it by one star just for the sake of having something to watch in 3D.Read full review
