Back in the day, scientist Sterling Pierce (Scott Bakula) tried to develop a serum that ultimately grants immortality. His son Jaxxon (Stephen Dorff) has since mass-marketed the serum, dubbed Divinity, and has made a fortune as a result - even though the serum still has its fault and has indeed made 97% of earth's women unfertile. Enter two aliens (Moises Arias, Jason Genao) who're out to stop Jaxxon and thus make him a prisoner in his own mansion and force-feed him Divinity. And then enter prostitute Nikita (Karrueche Tran), who has been ordered by Jaxxon before the home invasion, who actually leads the two aliens to a deeper understanding about ... pretty much everything to do with earth life, including sex, but who also finds out quite a few things about where Jaxxon's company is heading - and it's not pretty. In the meantime, pumping up Jaxxon with Divinity reaches its critical level, and the thing he has developed into spells danger ...

Divinity sure is an unusual movie: While on one hand it tells a pretty standard science fiction plot, on the other it's steeped in social commentary, it time and again abandons stringent storytelling for associative filmmaking, and it uses a highly stylized cinematic language to bring its story across. And on a visual level, the film is a true beauty, powerful black and white imagery brings its carefully arranged pictures to life rather wonderfully, also giving the film a very trip-like feel, to help make this one rather unique genre experience.
