Call it first hand impressions, a review or whatever, but we finaly purchased 300 on blu-ray and well, you know, my expectaions werent that big, seeing the review during it´s time on the big screen.
But still, i realy did enjoy every footage i did see from it and by the end of the day, a blu-ray movie aint that pricy, sure, it costs more then the dvd, but the money aint much to talk about, so i picked it up for an adult only night at home with my girlfriend.
And it for sure was a pleasant surprise, the image quality is just superb, best i´ve seen so far on blu-ray or anyother format, excellent sound and you know what, the story and narration was spot on.
And that´s comming from someone that doesnt realy enjoy shallow, skin only movies, but i didnt find that here, sure it´s realy violent, and the spartan society could by alot of people be viewed as a light pre wwII german one, but that´s the thing.
Even tho the movie is of course exagerated it still shows off how society was during that timeframe, so nothing weird with that, does it feel bad, yes.
Does it make your skin crawl, yes, but that´s how life was for alot of people and cultures, in the end 300 realy is a sight for sour eyes and the story is good, actors do their thing and with honor, the style and sound, the quality of the movie, it´s all top notch and well worth it´s price.
As for the blu-ray version, if you do have a nice hd tv at home and a phat blu-ray standalone player or that gorgeous playstation 3, do pick it up, if for nothing else, to atleast see how hd movie quality should be as of now.
To round it up.
300 get´s 9.3* out of 10 by me (which puts it one . ahead of gladiator if you´re wondering and slightly below braveheart)
