Troy - 4 stars out of 5 stars


I'm a Brad Pitt fan and the rest of the cast is fine as well.The CGI in this film works to create some believable large scale battles.The only issue is the condensing of the story and distortions ,however that happens in many such historical dramas brought to the screen so its only 1 star off for that.The film was released in 2004 and runs a little long at 163 minutes.Storyline from IMDB below as well as a trailer URL after the pix.Enjoy.

Storyline
It is the year 1250 B.C. during the late Bronze age. Two emerging nations begin to clash after Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy. After Menelaus finds out that his wife was taken by the Trojans, he asks his brother Agamemnom to help him get her back. Agamemnon sees this as an opportunity for power. So they set off with 1,000 ships holding 50,000 Greeks to Troy. With the help of Achilles, the Greeks are able to fight the never before defeated Trojans. But they come to a stop by Hector, Prince of Troy. The whole movie shows their battle struggles, and the foreshadowing of fate in this remake by Wolfgang Petersen of Homer's "The Iliad."
