High­lander: The Search for Vengeance tells a story of Colin MacLeod, an immor­tal on a quest for vengeance as the title sug­gests. Like most movies in the long run­ning series, the story takes place over hun­dreds of years and includes many flash­backs. One of the first things you notice on see­ing this film are the amaz­ing visu­als. There’s plenty of sci-fi action includ­ing post-apocalyptic weapons and robots. The pace of the story is good and if you’re already a fan of the wain­ing series, this is a spe­cial treat. You don’t need to have seen any other install­ment of the many movies or series how­ever, as the movie works well on its own.

After hav­ing been dis­ap­pointed with every­thing that has come out of the High­lander sto­ry­line of late, I have to say I was pleas­antly sur­prised by this film. Already an Anime fan, I appre­ci­ate the visual qual­ity and over­all look of the film. It is an untold story of the High­lander mythos and fits well into that fran­chise, paving the way for new sto­ries to be told. That I am already a fan of the High­lander con­ver­sa­tion is what got me to check out this film and I am happy I did. I found it to be pleas­ing on many lev­els and eas­ily rec­om­mend it, giv­ing it a 4 out of 5 marks.
