(Eva Green as Artemesia)
Following
the success of the previous blockbuster titles that have released in IMAX® 3D
at the Ster-Kinekor cinema complex at Gateway in Durban, 300: Rise of an Empire is the next film to blast its way into this
impressive theatre. It was launched in South Africa on March 7 to coincide with
its international release.
Watching
this action-packed adventure film in the IMAX® theatre promises an immersive
cinematic experience as the Greeks and Spartans do battle with the Persians. 300: Rise of an Empire is a powerful
film that certainly does justice to its release in IMAX® 3D, and audiences will
leave the theatre feeling as if they too had been part of the war.
The
IMAX® 3D release of 300: Rise of an
Empire has been digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of
The IMAX Experience® using proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering)
technology. The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX's customised theatre
geometry and powerful digital audio create a unique environment that will make
audiences feel as if they are in the movie – and part of the non-stop action of
the warring Greeks taking on the might of the Persian army.
The film
is based on Frank Miller's latest graphic novel, Xerxes, and told in the breathtaking visual style of the
blockbuster 300 (released in 2006).
This new chapter of the epic saga is a companion piece to the first film and
takes the action to a fresh battlefield – on the sea, as Greek general,
Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton), attempts to unite all of Greece by leading
the charge that will change the course of the war.
300: Rise of an Empire pits Themistokles against the
massive invading Persian forces, led by the mortal-turned-god, Xerxes (Rodrigo
Santoro), and Artemesia (Eva Green), his vengeful commander of the Persian
navy.
