i enjoy this movie very much . i get this movie thinking that it would be great just to watch for the scenery . it be . what i be not expect be the great intellectual content this movie offer . i think you will like it if you enjoy ancient history and especially greek history . at time it will seem so mundane and nearly boring and but persevere it all come together wonderfully at the end and will leave you think . i and too and think the movie be go off course and no pun intend and for a bit . everything in the movie be there for a reason . this be a think person movie though . if you do not like history and politics and ancient civilization and you may not like it . however and if you really love these thing and then this be one you shouldn not miss . i think the director be brilliant . there a scene where the ship be see from a distance and and it midday and it look so wash out . then i realize and that be just what thing look like midday . it just so mundane and and that be what will eventually strike you hard at the end if you just keep an open mind until you get there . it worth it .
