so, the IMAX experience, eh?

the review in the metro promised racism, fascism and homophobic jingoism...

what we got was 300 hooting spartans led by their incongruously scottish sounding, innumerate king who fight the oppressive forces of the goa'uld persians to keep their freedom.

there were mutants, cripples, swords & six packs. it was beautiful, violent and laced with black humour. maybe let down a little or "hammed up" by some of the over the top acting on display.

still, robo-good fun and as xerode says, "it's not every day you get to see breasts bigger than you are."
