Divinity
That smell is less divinity and more inanity

Yeah…nah.
If this had come out 40 years ago, it might have become a cult classic. Since it came out last year, well, it’s just an odd, somewhat pointless pre-emptive artefact.
An old crazy scientist (Scott Bakula) talks about creating something that will give people immortality, if he can just crack it, crack something, some part of the equation.
That doesn’t work. But he has two sons, and one of them grows up to be Stephen Dorff. You remember, Hollywood megahunk Stephen Dorff? He played the villain in the original Blade movie? I’m sure he’s done something since then, though not sure what.
Anyway, he’s still around. He’s still relatively fit. Why shouldn’t he work?
He, too, is a scientist, but he’s advanced the ‘cure’ for aging beyond what his father achieved. It’s a product, called Divinity, and it’s sold in perfume-like bottles to the slavering masses.
It makes men gigantic and throbbing with muscles. It keeps women lithe and wrinkleless.
But either it’s making everyone sterile, or everyone is sterile anyway, because reasons.
Stephen Dorff’s character is called Jaxxon Pierce. When I was watching the flick, I just thought that they were saying “Jackson”, and it did not bother me. But when I looked it up, and saw the two Xs, my heart sank. Because that’s just terrible.
