Fleshed out with the origins of god-king Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), the genesis of Artemisia's revenge plot, a wildly hilarious acrobatic seduction scene and some fantasy creatures, it's an enthralling tidal wave of epic sea battles, balletic combat shocks and artful slow-motion, all stunningly designed and beautifully rendered with resplendent CGI augmentation. Considering 299 of our title characters wind up dead by the end, even die-hard fans had to ask: Whats the point Well, now 300: Rise of an Empire is here. Like 300, the film is based on a Frank Miller graphic novel, and director Noam Murro skilfully sticks to what worked the first time in terms of raw, full-blooded violence and rugged, thunderous action. General Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton) rallies his fellow Grecians together against the massive Persian navy led by ruthless commander Artemisia (Eva Green). Based on Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel Xerxes and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster 300, this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefieldon the seaas Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. This worthy companion piece to Zack Snyder's 300 depicts events that run parallel to the Spartan massacre.
