I held out seeing this movie for a long time because I wanted to see it in IMAX. After 8 unsuccessful attempts (ranging from people cancelling to showings being sold out) I finally saw this movie.

It was not the best movie I have ever seen, but it was pretty damn good. That sex scene was one of the hottest ever in a movie, the direction in the entire movie was amazing, as was the action.  Frank Miller is a genius, I don't understand what they're planning for a sequel (obviously it's not going to be a direct sequel since the 300 except 1 died although I suppose it would still be 300 actually 301, neither the captain, nor the king were counted in the 300, the 300 were the ones the captain selected.

I just hope it's done just as well as this one.

Interesting side note, this was done in all green screen (as I'm sure you know) and they used Apple G8's to create it, and used, wait for it...

16 TERAbytes of space to create the entire movie. That's approx. (1034B = 1KB) 16,000 Gigs.

This sounds like a glorified videogame cutscene, so I'm interested, but I'm afraid I'm going to be bored past 10 minutes, and I cannot stand the overacting in the trailers, much less 2 whole hours of it, how is the action/"acting" ratio in this one?

Honestly I was worried about it myself. It seeemed like too much, but the story actually flows really well, and like I said the directing is top-notch. The overacting in the trailers is a result of marketing, it really isn't like that in the movie too much at all.

It's the feel-good movie of the year.  Trust me.

I just wanted to pass by and say I really didn't like this movie at all. I knew it was little more than a glorified video game cutscene, which means I should had loved it, but I didn't. Hell, I even liked Matrix Revolutions, which sets the bar pretty low. I love slow motion, epic battles, and I can overlook one-dimensional characters and a non-existent or really bad plot, but I guess I do have my limits and is this movie. The slightly subtle homophobic undertones (which weren't really that subtle to be honest) were the icing for my hate cake.

With that much space everyone in the movie is really in-game models right.  The actors where just for interviews.
