I just saw one of the best movies I have seen for a very long time. You have to understand that my taste in movies may be considered a bit un-feminine. In fact, the LOTR trilogy is my favorite of all time, and I also really liked “Fight Club”. I have hated movies like “The Devil Wears Prada” and “The Breakup”. So, take this recommendation with a grain of salt, but I loved “300”!It’s poetic, artistic, and incredibly bloody. This is the plot line:
In 480 BC, the Persian king Xerxes sends his massive army to conquer Greece. The Greek city of Sparta houses its finest warriors, and 300 of these soldiers are chosen to meet the Persians at Thermopylae, engaging the soldiers in a narrow canyon where they cannot take full advantage of their numbers. The battle is a suicide mission, meant to buy time for the rest of the Greek forces to prepare for the invasion. However, that doesn't stop the Spartans from throwing their hearts into the fray, determined to take as many Persians as possible with them. It is based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel of the same name.
We saw it on the IMAX screen…and it was so awesome! In one review I had read, it stated “See it on the biggest screen with the loudest speakers possible.” I totally agree.
For all you NetFlix subscribers…5 stars.
