This movie is based on the Battle of Thermopylae where King Leonidas of Sparta with 300 Spartan warriors and 700 Thespian volunteers blocked the advance of King Xerxes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae While bloody, the movie is full of action and well done. The computer graphics are not intrusive and helped show the scope of the battle. Very worth seeing! NOT for little kids, however. |

Stoga I saw this movie in I-Max in San Fran last weekend.I came away wanting to kick someones a%&.It was really awsome. I have always wondered how different western civ would have been if the persians had been allowed to march though Greece and into the rest of Europe if not for those 300 Spartans robbin their morale.
Oh did you hear what president Achmenadinawhatever of Iran thought of the movie? He didn't like the persians being portrayed as sexually flamboyant while Greeks were portryed as macho men....Cry me a river. Anyway, I had never seen I-Max before this and I highly recommend it. |

I like the attachment you provided.When I came to the part about what the Athenians and Spartans did to Xerxes envoys I kept thinking about what Lionides said before kicking that dude into the well.I've been driving my wife crazy by yelling "THIS IS SPARTA!!!" throughout the house.
