300

I saw 300 this weekend (I had been counting down the days till March 9th).  It was pretty amazing.  I'm not sure if I would say I loved it but I did thoroughly enjoy it.  There are so many absolutely gorgeous shots in the movie.  It is so refreshing to see movie makers trying to do something new and exciting.

If you are not familiar, the film is based on the graphic novel, 300, by Frank Miller.  The movie does an excellent job of capturing the composition of the comic book frames.  The result is something that is much more like a moving work of art than a movie, which I really appreciated.

Almost ever backdrop in the film is computer generated.  The sets that they filmed on were as minimal as possible.  Check out the conceptual artwork and video journals in the "Making of 300" section on the 300 website.
