There are film that really haunted me this is one of them, knowing that this really happen in history must of been so frightening to those poor people that are still in-cased in ash today in the ruin city of Pompeii still with the last look on there face starring death in the face God rest their soul's.
I find this film brilliant done as it set the tone of the film with these haunting word's along with haunting music "In the darkness you could hear the crying of woman,the wailing of infants & the shouting of men,Some prayed for help,others wished for death,still more imagined that there were no gods left & that the universe was plunged into eternal darkness.

| Pompeii |
Pliny the younger 79 A.D. I believe these words gives the haunting eye witness as they saw the city of Pompeii in gulf-ed in fire & ash,which was is apart of the darkest history."Pompeii" tells the story of the legendary natural disaster that covered the Italian city of Pompeii and its residents in ashes, preserving their bodies for eternity.
Like "Titanic," "Pompeii" mixes in a star-crossed lovers story into the disaster genre. Following the rich- girl-loves-poor-boy trope, a wealthy woman named Cassia (played by Emily Browning of "Sucker Punch") falls in love with an enslaved gladiator named Milo (played by Kit Harrington of "Game of Thrones"). Keith Sutherland acting in this film is good although i found his voice a bit weird but kid of suited the character but dam his character is an evil bastard.
Atticus (played by Adewale Akinnuoye - Agbaje of "Thor: The Dark World") is surprisingly well developed throughout the film. In the first act, Milo learns that he must face Atticus, a man who has been promised freedom after one more battle.
Several scenes of dialogue in a prison cell and action in the arena they are forced to fight in give the audience a good feel for who these characters are and give a good enough reason to root for them.
Considering that this is a disaster movie made by Paul W.S. Anderson, both characters have a substantial amount of substance to them, and the actors give good enough performances to make their friendship believable.
Though most of this fim it's surprisingly entertaining it does feel slow & it plays at a steady pace with a bit action & scene where you get to know the character, i think Emily brown is coming of age to be a brilliant actress as she plays the cute love interest milo, also doing a fantastic performance also a little short screen time Jared Harris & Carrie Anne-Moss who play Pompeii major i believe who built Pompeii, Milo played by Kit Harrington does a brilliant job of making his character believe this is, playing gladiator on a revenge path of his mother& his people, a big step up from the small screen of TV to the big screen we can see more of him in the future.
The most frightening thing about this film is when the volcano blow's, because after that its complete chaos, the visual effect & C.G.I is amazing as you see the volcano throwing everything it has at the city, but you cant help to have tears in your eye's seeing all these people suffering.
I would hazard to say this is very close to history on what happen apart from the love story but this is no ordinary love story its more of a tragic but beautiful eternal love story with the way this film ended but its very though provoking when you think about Pompeii all those soul's lost in-cased forever.
This is a film i highly recommend as this isn't a mediocre film in fact this is a film that will leave you thinking way after the credits role.
Dislikes : Keith Sutherland voice seem a little forced to me but apart from that if you can see past that this film is good.
