Product Description Duncan MacLeod and his fellow Immortals quest to locate the Grail of their world. desertcart.com With spinoffs including live action and animated films and television series, comic books, and more, the Highlander franchise has yielded its fair share of noble moments over the years, starting with the original film in 1986. But while Highlander 5: The Source has some cool special effects work and enough video game violence to enthrall adolescent boys, longtime fans agree that this made-for-TV flick is, to put it mildly, no Oscar contender. Adrian Paul, reprising the role he played in Highlander: Endgame (2000) and the Highlander TV series, is Duncan MacLeod, the ageless Scotsman hailing from the 16th Century. The storyline isn't easy to decipher, but it has to do with the imminent cosmic alignment of the planets and other celestial bodies, which will lead to "the moment of the Source," wherein lies the secret to the origin of MacLeod and his crew's immortality. (A note about the film's tagline, "The quest for mortality begins": Seems that being immortal ain't all it's cracked up to be; not only can these guys die, but they are unable to breed, which is a big problem for Duncan and his mortal girlfriend, hence his plan to locate the Source and become, you know, a regular dude.) This is generic comic book stuff, taking place in a crumbling, Road Warrior-esque world populated by characters with names like The Elder, The Guardian, The Watchers, and The Ancient One. The script, by Stephen Kelvin Watkins and Mark Bradley, is fraught with big, portentous statements, while director Brett Leonard seems more interested in staging the next fight sequence than giving us a clue as to what's actually going on. If this is the end of the Highlander story, and many seem to think it will be, fans had every right to hope for a more dignified death knell than The Source. --Sam Graham Review: There can be only one, and the answer is very good! - Pros: -I thought this film filled in gaps that Highlander fans wanted to know. The highland characters we know and love did a good job in their roles. Personal view: - This is not the way I thought they would fill in questions on the "Immortals" but never the less it was a very good movie and I give it an "A" grade. This could have been an A+ but about 3 of characters that are writen into the movie have weak roles and thought they should have had stronger characters presence over all. Cons: - Unless you watch the other movies and the series (mainly the movies) you may miss out on key knowledge and history of the Highlander character. - This is only a con because I watched it twice and unless you pay attenion to the darker character role you may miss on the real purpose of his role. Review: Terrific ending for "The One" - I always begin - or end - my reviews with this is only my opinion, and being flogged online isn't nice. So, that said, there had to be an ending - one completely unlike the series - of which I watched every single episode, one unlike that horrible movie with Lambert in the future - but one that signified the end of the Highlander - the one people everywhere came to take as "The One," Duncan MacLeod. Now I really thought about this - and I cannot think of another way the story line could have possibly come to fruition, other than Duncan, the Immortal who cared for people as well as his fellow Immortals, to play out. He always wanted a child, was devastated when his two other true loves died, and of all the characters, he deserved his heart's desire. He deserved to be with the woman he loved and have an end in the future to his living - this immortality business made me really think how horrible that option would actually be. I agree this could have been fleshed out more, but all in all? I loved it. Now keep your internet rock-throwing to a minimum, please. I just changed the curve as far as the rating measurement. Eh, I did that in school too...changing the bell curve, and it didn't make me any friends. Phooey. I say what I think. Now be nice, people, and be well.

Highlander - the TV series
If you are a fan of the Highlander television series as I was, then you will want this dvd. I was never a fan of the movies with Christopher Lambert.(he is not in this by the way). But the series with Adrian Paul was wonderful. It is so nice to have an ending to the story. Everyone who follows a television series wants an ending which explains what happens to all the characters. This does. It's wonderful to see Duncan McCloud of the clan McCloud win in the end. Just a question: Was Christopher Lambert ever killed off in his movies?

Very disappointed
As a fan you will watch and be disappointed as well. I would say don't watch but if you are a fan of the series you will want to watch, as I did. Gave it two stars instead of one because of that. But nothing really 'good' about it.

If you bypass some of the bad lines there is some good stuff
Hey, I'm not going to say this is the greatest Highlander movie, but it does sort of provide closure to the franchise. There are a lot of bad lines and sloppy deliveries, but there are "chunks" of the movie that give us what we need to finish the story. You may fall asleep before the end like I did. That is ok, just wake up the next morning and finish it off so you can move on to another story.

Honest
Many have complained about just about everything about this movie. My opinion is this, (by the way i have also seen every movie and tv episode as well), the budget is the only issue. Mabey Two over the top acting performances, and a general lack of set quality. However, The story was fine, they did do some history flashbacks (someone reviewed that they didn't, false) that were not up to par with previous titles, this is where i again fall back to budget. Some ok fights, (the main villains movements tacky, budget issue) and otherwise good movie. Conclusion, If you are a TRUE "Fan" of the "Highlander Story" and you can tolerate a low budget film, then you should enjoy this title. Just give it a chance and understand from the start that IT IS A LOW BUDGET FILM. I recommend this film with reservation in regards to viewer.

Highlander movie
Just as described

The last adventure for Adrian Paul as Duncan MacLeod. This adventure takes them looking for the source of their immortality. Turns out it's just some messed up solar alignment. Not the strongest in the series but by far not the worst. If you've seen the original Higlander 2 you'll understand. This movie just finished it off in the way it thought good. Give the immortal a kid. That was kinda messed up. But whatever it's still fun.

Habe den Film neu gekauft kenne ihn aber schon. Ich habe zuerst die Kino Filme gesehen. Dann die Serie und dann diesen Film hier. Ich finde die Quelle der Unsterblichkeit jedenfalls ein tolles Ende. Der Film gefällt mir sehr gut und bin froh, dass ich die Highlander Geschichte beenden durfte. Man versteht Die Quelle der Unsterblichkeit nur, wenn man auch die komplette Serie gesehen hat. Das ist jedenfalls meine Meinung. Super Finale! 5-Sterne
