The Immortal Augustus Gladstone (Movie Review)

Robyn Miller, known for his work on Myst, is making a transition from gaming to film making with The Immortal Augustus Gladstone. The movie is fairly unique and follows the life of a man who believes he is immortal. Augustus Gladstone gathered some notoriety online when he shared some videos about his life as an 156-year-old immortal on Youtube over two years ago.


The faux documentary starts out by introducing viewers to Augustus Gladstone who lives in an abandoned hotel in Portland with his partner. Augustus appears to be very excited about telling viewers his life story as an immortal vampire growing up during the post-Civil War period. While his tales seem far fetched, Augustus radiates a certain likeability and southern charm, that has you believing it all might be possible.

Augustus manages to fully embrace his role as an immortal by wearing thick makeup, a pale-colored wig alongside vintage clothing. He also prides himself on being polite and respectable despite his odd lifestyle. The story takes viewers on en emotional rollercoaster as Augustus's life is thrown upside down with film crew invading every crevice of his personal space.

The best part of The Immortal Augustus Gladstoneis the complex and intriguing characters that keep the story fresh. However, there are some moments in the film that just aren't as interesting as others, which are made up for with some skillful editing. The viewers are often treated to some grainy flashbacks to better illustrate Augustus's 156 year existence.

In the end, The Immortal Augustus Gladstone is a great film by Robyn Miller that will keep viewers on the edge of their seat wandering what will happen next. The Immortal Augustus Gladstone not only manages to be entertaining but informative as well. It manages to shine a light on some of the problems of the digital age while politely poking fun at some of the problems within our society. The Immortal Augustus Gladstone is set to release on April 1st on iTunes. To learn more, visit the official The Immortal Augustus Gladstone website.
