Being a fan of the Highlander franchise I was interested in seeing what this anime movie of Highlander was going to be like so I bought and I was impressed with it, it was a great movie. Highlander: The Search for Vengeance captures the element of the movie and series perfectly, the rules about the Immortals, The Quickening, the changing between the past and present. The animation is beautifully done and amazing to watch and it feels like Highlander.
The film sees a young man Collin MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod in the future searching for a Immortal named Marcus who killed his wife and attacked his village years ago and since then he's been travelling from place to place down through the centuries trying to kill him but every time they encounter he beats him, now in a post-apocalyptic world Collin is still searching for him to get his revenge, he reaches New Jersey and encounters a group of creatures feeding on people and after defeating some of them a Immortal shows up but not the one he wants, the huge Immortal takes out a massive Chainsaw and attacks Collin and a battle begins. Collin chops off his head and absorbs the power of the Quickening while in New York the Immortal Marcus and his Immortal partner see it from a distance. Collin then goes to New York where he's confronted by Robot Guards and a human, he gives them the head and gets paid he then let into the city. While in the car he uses the guards gun to kill the Robot guards in the other car then breaks out. He meets a young boy tells him where the nearest bar is, Collin goes there and sits down drinking but soon he meets a young women named Dahlia who reminds him of his wife in the past, he follows her into the sewers and finds a underground civilisation where the people are safe from Marcus, some of the people are being killed from a virus in New York and they need the vaccine but the only ones are in the huge tower, at first Collin has no interest in helping them until he discovers that Marcus is in the tower and his search for vengeance would be completed so he offers to help.
Going down through the sewer they're attacked by a huge Alligator but Collin just chops it's head off without any fear, continuing through the sewers they reach the tower and then Collin smashes in and kills the Robot guards then the other two jump in, she takes the guard's weapon and they continue going inside, they discover the lab and find the vaccine but they also discover that Marcus has been creating the virus that been infecting people in New York, suddenly the alarm goes off and while Dahlia and the kid are being attacked by the guards Collin senses Marcus's Quickening and goes into the lift, while going to the main floor the Spirt tells him that he shouldn't do this since every time he tries to kill Marcus he fails but Collin doesn't want to hear it since he wants his revenge. Reaching the top floor he meets Marcus and they fight, Collin gets smashes outside and they fight down the roof but Collin gets knocked down and falls from great hight failing again to kill Marcus. Collin smashes into the base where Dahlia and the kid see him there, he runs off while Dahlia checks him out and suddenly she sees that he's alive again and carries him out of the base. While unconscious he meets the Spirt again in his mind and he tells him that Dahlia is his wife are the same person, her spirit is inside her. Waking up he sees Dahlia and then he goes to see all the people cheering at him, then they decide to attack the guards and reclaim the city while Collin goes with them to confront Marcus for the final time and get his vengeance.
I won't give out anymore of the film's plot, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance is a great new entry in the Highlander franchise and should be seen. 10/10
