Now, only the rich can buy their way into heaven.Ĭue Gods of Egypt's grand CGI spectacular. Kleut), the dog-faced deity of death, is the bouncer, and after violent desert god Set (Gerard Butler) murders Osiris, blinds Horus, and claims the throne, he raises the entrance fee. However, an invite to the eternal party isn't that simple. When Osiris shouts, “All are welcome in the afterlife!” the civilians cheer like he's dropped the velvet rope to VIP. In this vision of Egypt, the gods are superstars, the mortals their pathetic fans, and the netherworld is the coolest club in town.
Director Alex Proyas ( Dark City, The Crow) is giving us the ancient Egypt we never knew we wanted to see: one reimagined as a fantastical bloodbath in Las Vegas. Then I realized the joke was on stick-in-the-mud me. I'd been rolling my eyes at the crop tops, 3-D white rose petals, and clangingly modern slang. In his last hours as a spoiled prince, Horus is being massaged by three mortal attendants, all half his size - the gods are 12 feet tall - when his girlfriend Hathor (Elodie Yung), the goddess of love, saunters in wearing a blinged-out push-up bra and the two buff hotties start making out in a Jacuzzi. Here's the moment Gods of Egypt made me its slave: Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), grandson of the sun god Ra (Geoffrey Rush), is about to be crowned king of Egypt by his popular father Osiris (Bryan Brown), who has given the region 1,000 years of peace.
