I Am Mortal Movie Explained

Rate this post

The premise of the movie is set far in the future. 
Because of excessive and unethical use of natural  

resources, the world faces a new pandemic every 
year that kills billions of people. Humans have  

started to see life as a curse as they can 
catch a deadly virus and die anytime.
 

Then one day, amidst all the disaster, a 
scientist named Pilot comes as a blessing to  

humankind. He makes a genetic discovery that can 
turn humans immortal, giving people hope to live  

in a fairytale void of the fear of death.
In a short time, he invents the practical use  

of the discovery and the remainder of the human 
race transforms into eternal beings. The scene  

changes two hundred years in the future.
The system of immortality has changed now.  

Only a select group of people who live inside a 
domed city get a chance to go through a process  

called the freeze which makes them immortal. 
Pilot runs the entire city and has hundreds of  

employees working for him to maintain order.
People at a young age are brought to the domed  

area and are evaluated by Pilot himself. He 
pinpoints the moment in their life when they are  

at their peak which is when they get to freeze. 
For most people, this age is around twenty-five  

but it can vary from person to person.
Hence, the domed city is filled with immortals and  

people looking to be immortals in the future.

Then, we are introduced to the protagonist of  

the film Logos. He is being moved into the 
city alongside multiple people excited about  

their transformation. Unlike them, Logos has 
many questions in his heart. He doubts that  

immortality is a gift humans need because to him, 
death is what binds life together. Without death,  

there is no living; there is just existing.
Despite such concerns on his mind Logos enters  

the city, hoping to find answers.
On his second day in the city,  

he is approached by a woman named Psuker. She has 
sensed that he has been questioning immortality  

and is here to invite him to a group; one 
that is made of more people like him.
 

She hands him a box that is supposed to take 
him to the said group without being tracked.  

Pilot and his right-hand man Armaros 
are watching the surveillance footage  

when they see the box and find it suspicious.
Pilot asks Armaros to find out what the box is.  

Somewhere else, a tour guide Akae is telling 
a bunch of new citizens about the process of  

freezing. One of the new citizens inquires about 
someone who used to work closely with Pilot.  

Akae reveals that there was once a man who was as 
smart and intelligent as Pilot. They were partners  

until the man protested against the system of 
immortality and his memory was wiped clean as  

a result. No one knows where he is now but rumor 
has it that he has invented a program to end the  

entire immortality system before disappearing.
Akae is later approached by Armaros who takes her  

to meet Pilot virtually. The man wants Akae to spy 
on Logos and find out what he is up to. Since she  

is a guide looking to be promoted into a guardian, 
it is a perfect way to test her abilities. In the  

following scene, Akae catches Logos and Psuker 
together and eavesdrops on their conversation.  

But a smart Psuker already knows they are being 
watched. She talks to Logos in circles and tells  

him to come to the church later but to Akae, it 
sounds like a normal friendly conversation.
 

Later, Pilot is told this but he refuses 
to let go of the matter. He again asks  

Akae to continue to spy on Logos and make a 
report about all his activities. To do so,  

Akae has to be close to him, hence she approaches 
him the next time she finds him alone.
 

She comments on the book he is reading and starts 
a conversation about immortality right away. Logos  

asks her if she believes the things she tells her 
students as their guides. It makes Akae think and  

she registers that she doesn’t have an answer.
The following day, she appoints a set of twin  

sisters to spy in Logos when she is not 
around. The twins are also hoping to be  

promoted so they accept the job in an instant.
At the same time, Logos goes to the Church and  

meets Psuker. After confirming that no one 
has followed him, he is allowed inside.  

A man named Masim welcomes him in and 
introduces him to a programmer and scientist  

Medorin. Everyone in the group is like Logos; 
they question the immorality system and are  

unsatisfied with Pilot’s method.
It is then revealed that people are  

given a dosage of a drug named maintenance 
every day to supposedly prepare themselves  

for the freezing process. But the group has 
found out that the drug makes them submissive,  

suppressing human emotions and instincts. They 
cannot love or hate which makes them incapable of  

protesting against what they dislike. It is almost 
as if they are bred to become Pilot’s slaves.
 

Everyone who takes the maintenance 
drug is the same but for some reason,  

Logos seems to be immune to it which is why he has 
thoughts outside of the benefits of immortality.  

The scientist Medorin has found a diary made 
by Pilot’s former partner and is replicating  

the virus that will overturn immortality.
The group’s primary goal is to make people  

realize that they can feel happiness 
and sorrow so they protest against  

the system and end Pilot’s rule.
In the following scene, Pilot is with his  

teenage daughter Amanda. She inquires about his 
ex-partner and reveals that his name was Helius.  

Amanda is a curious girl, she has many questions 
about the system her father runs which normal  

citizens would not be allowed to ask. In a way, 
she is like Logos and the others from the group  

and Pilot has started to realize it as well.
In the morning, Logos wakes up because of a  

nightmare. He has been having a recurring 
dream where he is in the desert wearing a  

hazmat suit. The dream always ends with him 
struggling to breathe and passing out.
 

Akae is adamant about the promotion and is 
willing to do anything to complete the task  

Pilot has given her. That day, she approaches 
Logos again posing as someone who wants to be  

his friend. However, in the middle of the 
conversation, she asks him if he takes the  

maintenance drugs that prepare him for the 
freezing process. Logos is taken aback by  

the question but he lies and says yes.
After some time, he is with the group that  

is planning to disturb the flow of maintenance 
drugs by changing the code which can be done  

from the capitol building. This is sure to 
show people how it is to feel human emotions.  

But to recode, they need access to the 
underground tunnels of the capitol building.
 

Logos remembers that Akae works in the capitol 
and her card can be used to gain access to areas  

that are otherwise not open to the general 
public. He goes to meet her and asks her  

if she takes her maintenance drug. Before 
she answers, the twins interrupt them.
 

We see Armaros asking Akae what Logos was 
talking about but she lies to him and claims  

that he just came to say hi. Logos’s question 
remains on her mind for the rest of the day,  

hence, she eventually goes to meet him.
He trusts her and brings her to the rest of  

the group, revealing every step of their plan 
and their goal to someone who has been sent to  

spy on them. Akae is shocked but she composes 
herself. Even after finding out how Pilot is  

controlling them, she doesn’t comprehend 
the severity of the situation, thanks to  

the maintenance drug she has been consuming 
every day. Akae is even more stunned when the  

group asks her to help them with their plan.
She is given some time to think it over but she  

takes this opportunity to tell Armaros everything 
she discovered. Surprisingly enough, he remains  

calm for someone who has been told about a 
rebel group who wants to end his boss’s rule.
 

Armaros asks Akae to return to the group and 
agree to help. Even though she fears being caught,  

she trusts Armaros to get her out 
of any unmanageable situation.
 

In the meantime, we see Pilot talking to 
Amanda again. She inquires about what it  

was like when he lost her mother. Pilot is fed 
up with her asking him the same questions but  

he replies that it was devastating.
He also reveals that one time, Amanda was  

close to death and he thought his life was 
ending with hers. This is the reason he and  

Helius worked hard to create the genetic coding 
method. However, Pilot claims Helius was jealous  

that he got all the credit which caused a rift 
in their friendship. After hearing everything he  

has to say, Amanda comments that the last part 
changes every time he tells her the story.
 

Then, we see Akae come to the rebel 
group offering help. They create an  

elaborate plan and assign specific tasks 
to everyone before finally executing it.  

But when they sneak into the building and are 
about to enter the tunnel, an alarm rings.
 

This is actually Akae and Armaros’s 
plan to separate Logos from the rest  

of the group and arrest him. It works and 
eventually, he is captured and taken into  

the medical room. The doctors perform a memory 
wipe on him causing him to forget everything.
 

Akae feels terrible for doing what she did 
to Logos. After finding out that his memory  

was wiped, she protests that she wants to 
meet him but Pilot warns her to do only the  

things she is asked to. Moreover, her presence 
might trigger some memories in him. Akae is  

distressed for a few hours before the twins 
inform her that they saw Logos earlier.
 

Akae runs to meet him but he fails to 
recognize her. He has also been given a  

heavier dosage of the maintenance medicine which 
has turned him into an immortal. He doesn’t feel  

any pain or happiness. In Akae’s head, 
he is a living dead, not an immortal.
 

It is then revealed that Akae has also not 
been taking her maintenance drug since the  

day she was told about Pilot’s true intention. She 
finally realizes that she has made a huge mistake  

and runs to meet the rest of the group.
Akae cries, apologizes, and begs for forgiveness  

but the group doesn’t trust her anymore. She then 
tells them about Logos and how he has been changed  

into a robot without memories. After repeatedly 
promising that she has realized the truth, the  

group counts her in as their teammate again.
In the next scene, they abduct Logos from  

a mental facility he was being kept 
in. They begin recovering him while  

Pilot finds out about the disappearance.
He also discovers that Akae was involved and  

blames Armaros for not being careful enough 
with the people he employs. Somewhere else,  

after talking to Akae for a few hours, Logos 
finally starts getting glimpses of the past.
 

Although he still has a lot to remember, he 
figures out the group’s purpose and is happy  

to rejoin them. In the following scene, the 
group is planning to continue their plan to  

hack and reprogram the maintenance system. Since 
Akae is not a member of the capitol anymore,  

she asks for help from the twins. It works and 
they gain access to the underground facility.
 

They are eventually successful in changing and 
overriding the program. While they are at it,  

the group is fortunate enough to 
find diffusers that can be used  

to turn people from immortal to mortal.
Then, we see the entire group escaping the  

city. They take shelter in between the 
mountains by building tents. Suddenly  

Logos has an epiphany and uses the diffuser 
on himself, desperate to feel emotions.
 

He passes out right after which scares 
everyone. The doctor of the group helps  

him and he returns to consciousness in a 
few hours. Akae, who was scared for him,  

finally admits that she has started to like him. 
Logos also tells her that he feels the same.
 

In the following scene, The group finds out 
that Pilot is launching a new program today  

that will strengthen his hold on humans. He 
wants to deliver a live message to his people  

but the system is hacked by the group.
Instead of Pilot, Logos appears on the  

screen and tells the people everything about 
Pilot’s unethical way of controlling everyone.  

He asks them to think freely at least 
once and promises that everything will  

be crystal clear to them after that.
The people rile up on hearing the long  

speech. Armaros tells Pilot that they must stop 
the group as soon as possible but Pilot is cool  

as a cucumber, assuming that his system can 
never and the general public can do nothing.
 

After that, Akae comes into their 
view with the diffuser. She uses  

it and turns herself into a mortal.
At last, comes Amanda with a twist. She  

reveals that before dying, Helius stored his 
cerebral data; his emotions, his thoughts,  

ideologies, and so on in a hard drive which 
has been downloaded into her brain.
 

In other words, she is Helius. In the last scene, 
Akae narrates that Amanda is the key to returning  

humans to their natural form. She is hopeful the 
group will soon be contacted by her.
