300 times the experience

Every frame of this piece of art is etched in my mind forever. Every pixel, every shade of colour on this canvas I can see in front of me long after I have walked out of the theatre. Every speck of red that is shed on the Greek soil is a beautiful brush stroke that brings to life death itself.

300 is not a movie. It is an experience, a 2 hour motion painting.

If ever there was beauty in blood shed, poetry in violence & gore, music in amputated heads & hands, aesthetics in war, 300 is it.

If Tarantino made violence and blood cool, Zack Snyder has transformed it into a work of art. Every scene is perfect. Every sequence blows you away. Every character is a work of sculpture.

Watch it for its breath-taking battle sequences, watch it for the insatiable violence, watch it for the magnificent spectacle of Persians vs. Spartans, watch it for the grand dialogues and costumes...

But most of all, watch it for how it consumes & overwhelms each of your senses and transforms you into someone who craves glory above all else, someone who is afraid neither of darkness or evil, someone who desires to put the "the immortals' name to test", someone who looks at death in the eye and dares to deny it... watch it, as it transforms you into a Spartan
