Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì
Pompeii—despite the special effects lacking high quality—has a solid
storyline. Actors have been well chosen with Kiefer Sutherland, the strongest
actor, playing a ruthless senator. Kit Harrington plays his character with
exceptional realism. Be aware that this film begins with scenes of burned
victims from the Pompeii eruption and the later gladiator fights are
violent. Overall the movie portrays, in good detail, how life stories are
interrupted as a result of volcanic eruption.
