Few films merit IMAX. This is one.
You want to believe that the rhino will gore you up in the 20th row.
Yes, it's expensive ($12), but you will come away feeling like you were there

YES, YES, YES! It would definitely be worth it! The movie is a feast for the eyes! Agh! Now I want to see it on IMAX!
I just loved 300!! I used to say GLADIATOR was my favorite film but now I love 300 more! What an awesome movie! Yes, better than TROY, better than BRAVEHEART, better than any other "swords and chaos" film that I've seen, I can honestly say that I was fascinated every minute! The script, the costumes and sets, the music, everything was just PERFECT!!!
I was most impressed by the action scenes, they were choreographed very nicely and looked pretty realistic. (OK, OK, the arterial spurt was wrong, there wasn't enough gushing blood and no sword, no matter how sharp, stays sharp long enough for you to hack that many people to death but let's overlook little details like that, OK?)
I own swords and I know it's not easy to swing those babies for long, you really have to be in good shape and these guys really looked it! Like real warriors not the weekend warrior type. I mean, you could believe that they'd been training as warriors since they were kids. I know people say it's all digitally enhanced but I don't care. It looked pretty real when it needed to look real.
OK, there was some gratuitous nudity (young "oracle" in flimsy gown, the Queen of Sparta flashing flesh, the king and queen in the bedchamber) to keep the young, testosterone laden men interested until the carnage but I guess that's only fair as we women were treated to the sight of all these buff guys in skimpy war outfits.
The bad guys were suitably bad, LOL! It cracks me up to see the people posting here at YA that are saying it's an anti-Iranian film or whatever. It's fiction for Pete's sake and it's a good story!! It was told from the viewpoint of a survivor, someone who came back to Sparta and told the story. Of course there will be embellishments!
Ah, but it wasn't just a good story, it was just a spectacular feast for the eyes in many respects and was very inspiring. It was a story about duty and loyalty, courage and honor. Who doesn't like that?
No question, 300 is the best movie of 2007 so far. I've seen several: WILD HOGS, 23, GHOST RIDER, CATCH & RELEASE, MUSIC & LYRICS, DEAD SILENCE.... um, some other horror flick whose name I can't even remember now... in fact, several movies that I can't name now because they were so mundane but 300 is awesome! I'll buy it on DVD as soon as it comes out.

I've seen it and must admit that the battle scenes had intricate choreography. The story actually ran parallel to the historical event and the casting was right on point!
I just didn't enjoy it that much. I think that because so many people blew it out of proportion, my expectations had been too high for it. While main characters had great moves the extras(watch them) weren't doing much and a few actually started the exact same move over, if they couldn't get the strike in.(example: one of the Immortals during the attack before the rhino scene took place stopped in the middle of an attack, walked back and struck again without any force, and repeated it a third time) Most of the behaviors in the animals were ill performed(I'm a pre-vet major with a preference in Animal behavior, a lot of it wasn't realistic). Different practices and execution of particular scenes didn't quite do it for me. But other than those few things, it was okay. I'd buy it when it comes out.

I haven't seen it, but some of my friends have. I can't wait to see it. From what I've heard, you need to go. If I had a chance to see it on IMAX, I would definitely not pass it up.

VERY VERY VERY VERY WORTH IT!! I saw it in a regular movie theatre, and the sound effects AND soundtrack blew me away!! Not to mention all the visual effects the movie has to offer! If there is one movie I would recommend, it would be that one! Go out and see it...I assure you...you won't regret it!!
