About this movie

Set in 79 A.D., POMPEII tells the epic story of Milo, a slave turned invincible gladiator who finds himself in a race against time to save his true love Cassia, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy merchant who has been unwillingly betrothed to a corrupt Roman Senator. As Mount Vesuvius erupts in a torrent of blazing lava, Milo must fight his way out of the arena in order to save his beloved as the once magnificent Pompeii crumbles around him.

Ratings and reviews

Bad CGI and you don't have a clue what happens at the end... Oh wait you do. If it had better CGI then I would give it a higher mark but there are so many things I find in a film CGI happens to be one of them and it was awful... My opinion you may have another and I respect that.

Julian Fellowes, creator of the highly unoriginal Downtrodden Abbey creates this, a complete work of fiction based on fact. If only he had kept to the facts instead of involving a tsunami which NEVER happened - based on fact!

On screen acting by kit Harrington (game of thrones) was incredible, was nice to see kiefer sutherland playing someone other than jack bower for once all though his English accent needs a little more work, apart from that love how the film is based around one gladiators point of view, would definitely recommend it to a friend
