Ahhhh 300... what mixed feelings this movie brings.
First I can say it was the lonnnnnnngest and most torturous
project I have ever worked on, oye yoille yoille. LOL . But
all that effort and crazy hours was well worth it, finally
seeing it onscreen I can say how gratefull and lucky I was
to work on such a cool movie.
Many friends and co-workers here at ILM think there is no
story. I can understand that somewhat. but remember, this
film is intended to represent the 300 Illustrated Novel. On
that level, Zach does an awesome job. Some of the images look
like they fly off the comic book. The look of the film, which
is part of what took so long to design last year, oh those
tests and test LOL, really flies off the screen and does not
induce nausea like Sky Captain did. Maybe because the look
of this was intentional as opposed to how to fix some technical
issues to to the filming process of the later.
What I really loved also was the use of the speed up and
slow motion and how the blood was more graphic then violent
gross out friday the 13th type effect. I think that the violence
- yes there are many many battles - is not as frightening
and that a 13-14 years old could see this no problem.
If you loved sin city (which I found ok, but not great) the
you should LOVE this movie. I will surely buy the dvd when
i comes out. Well worth watching the battles a few times in
the comfort of your home cine :)
Well worth the price of the ticket.
