The unique part of this movie is the graphics combined with the editing. The story is a basic war hero story, but the graphics give it a unique edge. It has a comic book feel similar to that of Sin City where the blood has a cartoonish look, and then there is a lot of physical movement through the air. The comic book appearance is a new style of editing in the film industry. The slow motion effect also adds to this style. The colors made the setting appear like a mythical tale being told, and it ends up being a story told by one of the soldiers to build up the other Spartan soldiers before battle. The narration also refers to the common form of historical storytelling before people wrote books about such events. The music adds a lot of character to the film with use of guitars and computers along with classical instruments to create a new and intriguing sound that motivates the actions in the film.
