"Immortals"

King Hyperion is not very nice, he is a rather unpleasant man, and keen on waging war with the people of Greece, and seeking to find the Epirus Bow, a weapon of tremendous power, which will help in his conquest.
The Gods are over-seeing all that is happening, but are forbidden to interfere by Zeus. There is a shining star amongst the people of Greece, Theseus, One who is said will rise up and do battle and reign supreme.

Yes the film can be compared to its predecessor "300", but for is far superior. The visuals are stunning, the story maybe as old as time itself but makes for good viewing. One way to describe it is watching "Clash of the Titans" on speed.
The cast are all adequate in their roles, though John Hurt as ever shines like the star that he is, and that wonderful voice he has so wonderfully enhances the narration.

One down side is that yet again, the 3D angle is a complete waste of time.....6 out of 10
