everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

***THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*****One of mankind's fondest dreams is no doubt to live upon this earth in vitality and youth beyond the paltry 75 to 90-odd years the healthiest among us get to enjoy. As such, one of contemporary fantasy's most compelling franchises has had to have been Highlander. The protagonist is himself immortal and gets to live indefinitely provided his head is not lopped by a fellow Immortal as these are destined to battle until there is a sole survivor among them as the catch phrase reminds the viewer "In the end there can be only one." It has been several years since an adventure of the legendary Scotsman, but if "Highlander: The Source" is any indication, it appears he is feeling his 400 plus years.For several years as this film plodded its way through production and distribution, fans were given hints that they would finally at last be provided with an explanation as to how the Immortals came to be in the first place. This convoluted story delivers none of that as the Source does not necessarily refer to origins.Though Highlander: The Source ultimately falls short in terms of the story, these shortcomings are compounded by the atrocious cinematography. Though broadcast in the early to mid 90's, the old Highlander TV series had better quality effects than the latest film in the series.For example, central to the milieu of the Highlander saga is the transfer of the quickening from the Immortal that has lost his head to the Immortal that has taken it. In the TV series, this was depicted by an impressive display of lightening bolts and electric shocks.However, in The Source, these scenes are not nearly as impressive. The electric charges are now less distinctive artistically with the emphasis now on the head rolling away, something that was only alluded to and seldom seen in the older episodes.Relatedly, in the TV series, the sword fights leading up to this dramatic exchange of life force were often depicted as elegant, almost dance-like encounters. However, in Highlander: The Source, these are now filmed with the same herky-jerky camera action used in many productions today such as the new Battlestar Galactica where viewers almost come away nauseated because the directors think they are too good to shoot images with a steady, smooth hand.Highlander: The Source is such a disappointment that, if one did happen to be an Immortal, one might just very well be tempted to slit one's own throat than rather spend an eternity watching this movie for an eternity.by Frederick Meekins

I'm not even starting with countless goofs, horrible characterizations and bad acting - seems as if the actors too hated the script - but want to focus on the abysmal plot that is an abomination to all this fandom is made of. throughout every movie, the series and its spin-off it was clear, clear enough to become a modern proverb: there can be only one! its the sole reason why they are all carrying swords and frequently fight to the death after all. but suddenly, an unborn child shall be 'the one'?! that's making a mockery of the whole game. every fight there was, all the effort, blood and tears it took them to survive that far, all in vain and for nothing? just...no. The second movie is a masterpiece compared to this, and even endgame is better if you're really desperate.

Remember when everyone freaked out over the Mass Effect 3 ending. Well, I have got a movie that destroys any sense of worth to the Highlander name. Hell, even Highlander 2 is a better movie than this. That is not a stand to take lightly because that is the archetypal bad movie and yet it is not the worst in the series. It did more damage to the franchise than Zeist. Let's begin the list of problems. One, the setting. Why in the Highlander franchise did they think the post- apocalyptic future? It's a fantasy idea. It is never explained what happened between the end of TV-show and this. Second, the plot. The Immortals need to look for The Source, which is like The Prize in the first film but makes no sense at all. For some reason they slowly loose their immortality has they move closer to it with explanation at all to it. There are so many problems with this movie. I don't want to list them because well this film is so bad I feel dirty talking about it. If you want to have punishment go and watch Spoony's review. Please do not watch. 0/10. The worst sequel ever made.
