I watched this on two separate occasions, since I missed the first part of the first showing. I thought it was very good, very nicely done. We hadn't been watching long when I made the comment to my husband, "Man, this guy is a perfect Caesar!" So I found it interesting that the previous reviewer had the exact opposite opinion. I think it probably depends on your own preconceived notions of the real Julius Caesar, but I felt he was portrayed with a good mix of heroism and sometimes all too fallible humanity.

This is one of the creepiest, most atmospheric movies I have ever seen, and I loved everything about it! The casting was fantastic. I'm a big fan of Jason Isaacs and Sean Pertwee (also check them out in Soldier-another favourite of mine), and they are both excellent, as is the rest of the cast. The ship itself, both the outside look of it, and the interior sets were incredible. The lighting adds so much to it, and the special effects are excellent as well, but there's so much more to this movie than special effects. I watched it first on video. I was home alone that night and had to pause the tape to get up and close and lock all my doors. I am not kidding! If you haven't seen it yet, check it out.
