Persia sets their sights first on Athens and its army led by Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton) in Xerxes plan for domination. While Xerxes believes that he is in charge, he is under the manipulation of Athens born, but Persian raised and navy commander, Artemisia (Eva Green). 300: Rise of an Empire is far more about the battles scenes and infamous blood thirst than the story and this what has to be remembered going into the film.īased on the graphic novel, “Xerxes” by Frank Miller, we see Persian royalty, Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) go from being man to God upon the death of his father King Darius (Igal Naor).
Even though it is not historically accurate, the large majority of people will go to see this film for the incredible CGI that doesn’t disappoint rather than for a history lesson. It sits somewhere in between prequel and sequel and provides an interesting look at the legendary figures of ancient Greece and Persia.
