A big movie with big sound.
Pompeii stars Kit Harington (Milo), Emily
Browning (Cassia), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Atticus), and Keifer Sutherland
(Corvus).
The soundtrack added a lot to the feeling of “rallying for the
good guys.”
The casting was well thought out & characters well
played, especially Cassia & Milo.
Sutherland made it easy to hate his
character Corvus, while Harington and Akinnuoye-Agbaje create a bond and
brotherhood that made me hold my breath in hopes that they survived their
trials.
The special effects were awesome and there was at least one time
that I even ducked in my chair from the falling debris!
While the premise
of this movie is well known, the plot gave it a smooth, easy to watch story that
kept me engaged the whole time.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been in a
movie theatre that had cheering at the end….even with such an unexpected ending,
but this one had people clapping all around me.
Thumbs up for this
one!
4.5 out of 5 stars.
