Pompeii (2014)

Pompeii: Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. With Dylan Schombing, Jean-Francois Lachapelle, Rebecca Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland. A slave-turned-gladiator finds himself in a race against time to save his true love, who has been betrothed to a corrupt Roman Senator. As Mount Vesuvius erupts, he must fight to save his beloved as Pompeii crumbles around him.

“In 79 A.D., a Celtic tribe of horsemen is slaughtered by the Roman Senator Corvus (Kiefer Sutherland), his right-hand man Proculus (Sasha Roiz) and their army. The boy Milo is the only survivor that is captured later and sold as slave. Seventeen years later, the slave Milo (Kit Harington) turns into an invincible gladiator in a province and is brought to Pompeii to participate in the games in the arena. While walking to Pompeii, the noble Cassia (Emily Browning) and her chaperone Ariadne (Jessica Lucas) cross with the path of the slaves and Cassia is fascinated by Milo. He shares the cell of Atticus (Adewale Akinnuoye- Agbaje), who is near to get his freedom depending on winning his last fight. Meanwhile Cassia meets her parents Severus (Jared Harris) and Aurelia (Carrie-Anne Moss) and learns that she has been betrothed to the corrupt Senator Corvus that is pressing her parents to marry her. During the games, the Mount Vesuvius erupts and Milos and his friend Atticus succeed to escape from the arena. But Milo wants to save his beloved Cassia in the middle of the chaos and the Romans. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Pompeiiu0026quot; is a full of action and dull romance in the tragic environment of the last days of Pompeii. Disaster movies were popular in the 70u0026#39;s (u0026quot;Airportu0026quot;, u0026quot;The Towering Infernou0026quot;, and u0026quot;Earthquakeu0026quot; among others) and Paul W.S. Anderson returns to the genre after u0026quot;Titanicu0026quot;. The entertaining story is silly with poor lines and dialogs, but never boring. Kit Harington, the u0026quot;Jon Snowu0026quot; from u0026quot;Games of Thronesu0026quot;, makes it worth to see at least on DVD. My vote is six.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026quot;Pompeiau0026quot; (u0026quot;Pompeiiu0026quot;)”
