Turning the 2 films into a single chronological narrative works wonders, particularly in increasing the quality of the sequel’s narrative. For me, this turned the sequel into an almost as interesting story as 300 was, and that’s an achievement in itself.

The editing is top-notch here. The transitions from one film to the other were perfect, couldn’t find a difference between the original cuts and the (many) new ones.

At 17m12, there’s something weird happening with the framerate, just for a few seconds, the video seems jittery. I’ve checked, this is not present in the original.

Now this was interesting.

The edit works incredibly well as a single narrative, regardless of the movies being released almost a decade apart. The reprising roles make it even more convincing, and no unaware viewer would take this for less than a back-to-back production of two separate installments. There are some narrative inconsistencies that could have been edited along - like the persian emissary disdain for Queen Gorgo's say as a woman, even though he is shown to have been Artemisia's mentor at that point. But that's on the nitpick side. While other reviewers have taken issue with how prominent the sequel story is in the edit, I think it's for the better since it gives the original some real-world political sustenance instead of relying just on mythic sandals-on-the-ground.

AV quality is just okay, editing is pretty flawless throughout.

Good showcase for fanediting.

Top notch editing. The technical profiency of this edit is very high. It was an interesting watch, but at the end of the day I just don't care about the events in Rise as much as the original. This makes them as good as they can be, I think. I wish the movie didn't have to go on after the ending of the original 300, but narratively there would be no way to make that work. This was a cool idea executed as well as is possible. I think the story of the sequel/prequel just isn't that strong. I'll watch this edit on occasion though it doesn't replace 300 for me.

The editing is pretty seamless and the picture quality is outstanding.

REALLY liked this. Like a hell of a lot. It works almost perfectly well. Good job taking out Wenham's narration from 300. I'm sure that wasn't easy.

An outstanding work.

I loved 300. The sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire was...ok, but not something that I would watch more than once.

This fanedit takes the best elements of both films and ties them together into one seamless narrative. I was very impressed with both the visual and audio editing, and Aztek463 has succeeded in making a fanedit where the end result is greater than the sum of its parts.

Highly recommended!
