Is this one of those epics that will flop into insignificance or will it stay around forever as a grate action epic of battles, love, men a wooden horse and togas. If it was up to me to say then I would say yes it is good fun with some fantastic set peaces, magnificently filmed agents the back drop of ancient Troy.
Homer's Iliad is the inspiration to this epic movie, as with a lot of films the initial text was been elaborated and the story changed slightly, but I don't think this takes much away from the films impact. Troy has a great ensemble cast that brings together one of the greatest stories told, the sacking of Troy. It also bring forth some of the hero's of the ancient world Achilles, Hector, Odysseus and Ajax, not forgetting a large wooden horse, (never trust Greeks bearing gifts').
From the outset of this film I was amazed at its sheer scope, the sets are very good and in most places the effects are seamless. I always have a fear that to much emphasise is being put onto CGI but then I also find that a lot of people are now spending a lot of the time trying to spot the joins. This is a film that does rely on the composition of CGI and live action; yes you can spot a lot of it especially with the 100,000 strong Greek army marching agents the walls of troy. But just think of it in this way, they just couldn't of film it with a 1000,000 real people the feat of managing that many men in one place would have been extraordinary. On the other hand as well, it doesn't take anything from the film. This is still a great film.
The Actors: Brad Pitt, toned, bronzed and in a dress metaphorically speaking. He does a god job as Achilles and pulls of his arrogance with excellent, No Oscar for his part but still a good choice for the fabled warrior. The show is stolen though by Hector (Eric Bana) He is a very believable as Hector, warrior of Troy and leader of the armies that manage to repel Agamemnon mighty horde. This could be said as the character he was born to play. Other cast members added considerable might to the film no matter how large or small there screen time was.
I don't want to spoil this film for anyone, I just say that you should go and see it for yourself on the big screen in all its glory.

A crack in the ice cap, mass migration, flooding and heavy snow drifts, what could it be but another ice age.
The Day After Tomorrow, is a very good disaster movie. It far out passes Dante's Peak and Volcano for impact and story and rains gloriously over films like Earthquake and Towering Inferno. The effects a very good and the rapid freezing is wonderfully executed, they are a little ropy when it comes to the wolves but if you've not seen the film then I wont go in to that, leaving them for your own recognition.
The story is well directed and the acting really does bring a sense of urgency to the screen. Dennis Quad (Jack Hall) as normal does what he does best and that is act, consistently one of the best actors in cinema today. He was well cast for this film and brought a realism to his character, Jake Gyllenhall (Sam Hall) brings off a good performance as his son trapped in New York, leading a small band of survivors through the days of the global weather shift. What needs to be said though is that this is not Shakespeare by the RSC, it is a daft but enjoyable movie. It has it's touching moments and it silly ones, which are equally shared aw-inspiring moments as storms devastate cities.
This is a welcome return to Roland Emmerich doing what he is good at, a master of the special effect block busters, Star Gate, Independence Day, Godzilla and now The Day After Tomorrow. Of the four I will a happily say that this one is by far the best, and is well worth a look. A good movie and one that keeps your attention throughout go and see it, its fun.

Turn around, tell me what you seeeee', flying through the clouds as the titles roll. It is on every Christmas, I own it and I simply love it. The Neverending Story is one of the least offensive and nicest family films out there. It has numerous sequels, but it is the first one directed by Wolfgang Peterson that is the best of the three.
Bastian, a young boy lives in a dream world, his father wants him to grow up his school would like him to get his head out of the clouds and is tormented by bullies. On his way into school while trying get away from the bullies he runs into an old book shop. While hiding inside the owner shows him The Neverending Story' a huge volume decorated with the Orin the symbol of the child like emprise of the Land Fantasia. When the owner isn't look Bastian takes the book.
This is a beautiful film; it enthralled me as a child and still does as an adult. I have watched over and over again, never tiring of it and always enjoying it. If you have young children or are an old child it doesn't matter this is pure a adventure fantasy for all ages, with colourful characters.
