Some acclaimed it as the next level of filmmaking while others accused of it of favoring visuals over characterization. The film became a box office record-breaker, although critics were divided over the film's look and style. It was released in both conventional and IMAX theaters in America on March 9, 2007. At Sparta, Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) attempts to rally support for her husband. The story is based on the Battle of Thermopylae which took place in 480 BC, although a narration by Dilios (David Wenham) gives a historical fantasy feel. Facing insurmountable odds, the Spartans' sacrifice inspires all of Greece to unite against the Persian invaders. Spartan King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fight to the last man against Persian King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his massive army of more than one million soldiers. The film is directed by Zack Snyder with Frank Miller attached as an executive producer and consultant, and was shot mostly with bluescreen to duplicate the imagery of the original comic book work. 300 is a 2007 film adaptation of the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller about the Battle of Thermopylae.
