"Last Stand of the 300" is being replaid on the History channel tonigh 8:00 Pacific time. Well worth the time to watch, for sure. Uses some of the same Computer grapuic tecniques as the move, maybe even shared, don't know since I haven't seen 300.
Saw both 300 and "Last Stand of the 300" yesterday. Saw the movie at 5:00 p.m., came home in time to catch the History channel presentation. DH, bless his heart, made soup and cheese and crackers to I could see the whole thing.
He had seen both the movie and the History channel presentation while he was in Florida with his son for a hockey tournament. Called me and told me I HAD to see it. He was so thrilled to have a chance to talk to his son about the values and the sacrifices represented by the Spartan's lifestyles and about the American values that the film maker incorporated into the story.
I walked out of the theatre awed. It was very violent, but very beautiful and a powerful way to exress the story and the values represented by the story.
