'Britannia': Ninth Legion vs England, et al.

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

This lightly done, humorous mini tells the story of Rome's return to Britannia after a 90-year hiatus. It works much the same as a soap opera only set to conflicting tribes over-lorded by the evil, misshapen Druids.
The general of the invasion is none other than "The Governor", David Morrisey. He heads a legion that is terrified of the land Julius Ceasar fled from 90 years earlier so half his troops are ready to go home at the onset. Kelly Reilly plays the daughter of a tribal chieftain whose mother was Roman. And, Nikolaj Lie Kaas plays the "Outcast" who runs around the countryside being crazy and very funny.
"Britannia" is a fun mixture of magic, spells, humor, sword fights, torture, and all things dark-aged in the first century Britain. It panders to everyone's prurient nature. Can't beat that.
Sky original, too bad, Rupert.
2.5 wonks.
