Is it as epic as you expect it to be? nop.

Rating: 5/10 (21 August 2010)

First when I saw the trailer for this movie I had a good feeling about it, gave me same memories of watching "The 13th Warrior" & "Apocalypto" so I thought it looked promising ... Until I got a chance to watch it earlier today.
When the credits roll started it felt that the movie was a pre-montage release, the chain of events are out of sync and they were just thrown randomly in no particular order and the acting was way over dramatic, the "message" or the "epic" lines had no feeling in them.
And just to be fair, the cinematography is outstanding, so is the music score. film makers should hire "Ilan Eshkeri" more often as he is very underrated music composer.
I wouldn't recommend this movie unless there is nothing better to watch, so if you are going to this movie, buy a large size bucket of popcorn.
