Before seeing this movie we need to know about some history of Greece then only we can understand this movie.
Before
Alexander born there are 7 kingdoms in Greece, in that Spartans and
Athenians are two countries. Spartan is under "King Leonidas" who shown
in previous movie 300. Another kingdom Athenians is a democracy rule in
that Themistocles (hero) is a Army General. During 'War of Marathon',
Persian (now Turkey) king Darius invaded Greece but in that war Darius
was killed. Xerxes (Persian king) was son of Darius; on revenge his
father killed he invaded Greece in that two parts are of army divided in
that Artemisia (the women commander) takes navy team and Xerxex take
Army team. Here Xerxex takes war in Thermopylae against 300 Spartans
men’s (last part movie). Parallel Artemisia takes her navy ships towards
Athenians Kingdom here this movie story starts.
This
movie is fully a navy war story to take a war action movie based on
navy background is very tough but director handle this movie very
perfectly. Compare to 300 the action sequence is less but this movie
doesn't disappoints us in action stuffs. Still wait 3rd part will come.
History continues......
Remember,
this is not a SEQUEL MOVIE (like continues part) and not a PREQUEL
MOVIE (X-Men First Class), this movie “300: Rise of an Emperor” is a
SIDEQUEL MOVIE this storyline travels parallel along with previous part
300.
