In incompatibility to the movie 300 (which was ok -see my review) this documentary is honorable. It is really a movie-like documentary with a lot of action.
Graphically it resembles a cramped the movie 300 since it uses a lot of computer graphics and non-realistic red looking skies. However, here Persians really peep like Persians.

The mumble is obliging. Although I have read about the battle of Thermopylae from many different sources, I learned about things I did not know before and gained a more detail knowledge. However, like in the movie 300 here again Leonidas seems to be considerable younger than he really was by 480BC.
What I particularly liked was that the documentary focused both on the land battle of the Spartans and sea battle of the Athenian snappy. This really showed how quick-witted and well coordinated the Allied Greek strategy was. Most other sources impartial focus on the land battle and pay minor attention to what happened in the flanking sea. The mastermind Themistocles is well represented and a decent length of the documentary is dedicated to him.
The Spartans and their society are accurately represented. They were not fighting for a novel era of freedom which was at the time being brought forward by Athenian democracy. They were fighting to keep their fill, non-free un-democratic system and were hostile to the spread of democracy to other Greek city states. However, their last stand was not solely to peek “a attractive death” but instead to conceal the retreat of their fellow allied soldiers. Maybe, also to give an example from which the allied Greeks would conclude united against the Persians for the sake of their sacrifice.
The sound tracks that accompany the scenes are valid. However, they could have traditional them more often and they could have raised the volume a tiny too.
I enjoyed watching this documentary even more than the other two good documentaries on the Spartans (one from the History channel and the other by PBS) .
Highly – I declare highly recommended – to people involved in veteran history and battle strategies and warfare.
The History Channel has presented a mixed of abominable and salubrious documentaries, but the “Last Stand of the 300″ is definitely one of the best that they’ve ever produced! I wholeheartedly agree with previous reviewers that this is an trustworthy and well-researched documentary about the Battle of Thermopylae–one of history’s most renowned last stands of all-time.
The overall presentation of this fable battle is reliable. Tall visuals, music, dramatic reenactments, and knowledgeable scholars provide a very enlightening and inviting memoir of the events preceding and following the 3-day battle at Thermopylae. The battle itself is examined and analyzed in meticulous detail–military tactics and strategies discussed from both sides of the war (land and sea) .
As reviewer, Raffaele Vardavas mentioned, this documentary does resemble a minute like the movie “300,” which gives it a more intriguing and cinematic view. The fighting sequences–especially during the last stand–are wonderfully depicted.
During the last stand, the performance of the 300 Spartans–and approximately 700 Thespian soldiers and unremembered 900 Helots (Spartan slaves) –has been hailed as an outstanding example of courage against insurmountable odds. Among the Greeks, the Spartan defenders were the ‘bravest of the brave’ and their astronomical sacrifice helped saved the future of Greece and unknowningly “altered the course of Western civilization.” As one of the world’s greatest and most symbolic events in history, this DVD is a must-have for all!
(Note: I have the PBS DVD of The Spartans, and also reflect this one is NOT as gripping to gaze. Instead, the PBS presentation feels like a slow 3-hour lecture in a history class. “Last Stand…300″ is blueprint better!!! Don’t hesitate to catch) .
