This movie was shot by Florian Ballhaus (he also shot The Devil Wears Prada) and his work here is so perfect and polished, it’s initially distracting. It’s 1939 in Germany, a time of dark desperation, growing fear, widespread unrest. Hitler is rising to power; persecutions have begun. And yet, everyone is so well lit; everything seems so beautiful. The opening shot of the train making its way through the snow-covered winter wilderness is stark and majestic.
This movie struggles to get started. It begins with characters – the Dark Elves – where it’s tough to decide which is worse: the costumes or their acting. The dialog is in a made-up language that has a hard, guttural, abrasive sound. The Elves’ home may well be a desolate realm; it looks more like a warehouse, somewhere in Los Angeles. And the Aether, their supreme energy force, looks like gallons of cheap red wine, shot in slow motion. But then we go to Asgard, where Thor and Odin and other super-heroes live, and a plot begins to take shape.
