Bek, a mortal thief with little faith in gods and their good
will towards mortals, with his love Zaya are attending the coronation of Horus,
lord of the air, by his father, the abdicating King of Egypt Osiris. Horus is
shown getting ready for his coronation as his love Hathor (Goddess of Love) surprises
him. Horus hints at marriage and they discuss Hathor's protection bracelet made
of the stars which Horus gave to her to protect and save her from her previous
role as a guide to dead souls in the underworld. However, during the ceremony
Osiris is killed by his jealous brother Set, god of the desert, who seizes the
throne and declares a new regime where the dead will have to pay with riches to
pass into the afterlife. Horus is stripped of his eyes, which are the source of
his power, and almost killed. Hathor pleads with Set to spare him and he is
instead exiled. Hathor becomes an enslaved mistress to Set.
A year later Bek has been working as a slave building
monuments, while Zaya is now under the ownership of the chief architect Urshu.
Believing that Horus is the only one who can defeat Set, she gives Bek the
floorplans to Set's treasure vault. Bek is able to steal back one of Horus'
eyes . However, Urshu finds out about their theft and kills Zaya as the couple
flee. Bek takes her body to the blind Horus and makes a bargain: Horus agrees
to bringing Zaya back from the dead for his eye and Bek's knowledge about Set's
pyramid.

This is another bad movie..... It was dramatic with theatrical feel and so fake CGI. It was so unrealistic that I didn't even feel the lost love between Bek and Zaya. I honestly didn't know what to review.
A summary of the thin plot... like any other Gods/ Egypt/ love story - evil brother kills good brother and blinded the nephew to take over the throne. Then greed beckons and he wants all the power to be invincible, including killing his own father. His people suffered, being enslaved and the kingdom is dying. Then came a mortal to help save the kingdom with the help from the love of his life who fully believed and worshipped the blinded and ousted God.
What more can I say? The only thing I liked was the God's gold coloured blood LOL! I was clueless when the movie has ended. I guess the moral of the story is to do more good and be humble in your current life so that you can join the after life regardless if you are rich or poor and not go to hell.
