Movie way off in the future: 300

Action / Drama / Adventure

300. Nice name for a movie. If i ust said the name, you wouldn't (well most of you non mythological geeks) guess what this movie would be about. After 2 people told me about this movies trailer i had to watch it.
It is about ancient earth, around 480 BC when Persia was dominating and annexing all parts of the world to its vast kingdom. The next on its hitlist was Greece, so the bravest of the Greek, the Spartans(from Sparta no less)are chosen to fight.The King of Sparta leads them.

This movie is about the war that takes place at Thermopylae, a steep and narrow canyon where war is difficult and strength of army cannot determine the outcome. The story goes that Greece sent out this army of men as a decoy to buy time while they in actualality prepared for Persia's greater invasion. Its suicide, But the 300 brave soldiers of Sparta aren't going out without a fight.It is said that their act moved the world into its first ever democracy.
The Trailer is awesome, really can't wait for this one, but the bad news is that it releases in 2007!Based on Frank Miller's(writer of the graphic series Batman:Year One) graphic novel,so far the visual effects are brilliant.The Spartan King is just too cool.Hopefully won't be another 'troy'-gic mistake.
