"300" The Movie Genre Question...?

Question

Hello All,
I was curious, is the movie 300 considered in the genre of Sci-Fi at all? Please and thank you in advance. :)

Update: Okay thank you all!

Answer 1

It's not considered a Sci-Fi but it should be because even though it's based on the Battle of Thermopylae it has little historical accuracy. The Spartans didn't fight for freedom like the movie says, they were the biggest slave owners in Greece their army was made up of mostly slave or hoplites as they were called. And the Spartans didn't make up most of the army at Thermopylae, there were other Greek city states fighting at Thermopylae and the Spartans weren't the only ones left to defend the pass as the rest of the army pulled back. There were also no people with goat heads and human bodies or mutated people that look like demons and people with knifes for arms and the Persians didn't have arrows in the shape of pitch forks. And Xerxes did not consider himself a god he was only in Greece because he wanted revenge on the Athenians and the rest of Greece for defeating his father in the Battle of Marathon and for the Ionian revolt. It should be considered a Sci-Fi and that's why.

Answer 2

Only in that Sci-Fi and Fantasy are usually grouped together.

But no, I would not consider '300' in anyway a Sci-Fi.

Answer 3

not at all, sci fi is all fiction. the movie 300 was based on actual events. tho the story was changed a little.

Answer 4

Normally I would say no but after viewing the movie and it being based off of Frank miller graphic novels(another word for comic book)I would say yes.Although it is based on actual historical events so it likely will fall under the action/drama heading.

Answer 5

no action but not sci fi

Answer 6

Action / Drama / History / War

Answer 7

even though there was made up creatures in it, i dont think so, this is probly because it was science but not fiction because it was historical

Answer 8

NO.
