Three Hundred

You pray the story holds together looking at the visual magnificence. So many times we watch visual treats to be left unmoved by characters and the stories. So I hope this isn’t the case with 300. The style of the photography is spellbinding. It looks raw and romantic in equal measures. Check out the trailer, high definition.

Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army.

Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy.

The film brings Miller’s(Sin City) acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.
